Description
Piazza Cavour showing the Palace of Justice. Designed by the Perugia architect Guglielmo Calderini and built between 1888 and 1910, the Palace of Justice is considered one of the grandest of the new buildings which followed the proclamation of Rome as the capital city of the Kingdom of Italy. The foundation stone was laid on 14 March 1888. On 11 January 1911, twenty-two years after construction began, the building was officially opened in the presence of the King of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III. The monument in the center of the square is to C.Cavour, one of the most important personalities in Italy's unification. The monument (by S.Galletti) was erected in 1895 on occasion of the 25th anniversary of Rome as capital of the state.
