Statua Equestre Vittorio Emanuele II
Statua Equestre Vittorio Emanuele II stands in a public area of Verona, linking the city’s historic landscape with Italy’s unification. You see King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy mounted on horseback, captured in a bronze monument by sculptor Ambrogio Borghi.
Vittorio Emanuele II became the first king of unified Italy in 1861, after the Risorgimento brought Italian states together. The equestrian pose follows a European tradition of honouring political and military leaders, while the bronze preserves Borghi’s attention to posture, movement and lifelike detail. Verona’s Roman heritage and medieval architecture provide a wider setting for this reminder of nineteenth-century national history.
Wheelchair access makes the public monument available to visitors with reduced mobility.
