used it later to stay
in Piazza Venezia, Rome.
Because of the shape
and color Piazza Venezia,
Rome is called a "wedding
cake" or the "typewriter".
After the First World
War, the body of the
Unknown Soldier was
brought here and kept
at the centre of the
traces. At the rear
of the Piazza Venezia
the Altar of the Fatherland
is dedicated to King
