The Shrine of Italian Victories

"The Vittoriale Degli Italiani (The Shrine of Italian Victories)", is the monumental city-home, created in Gardone Riviera, on Lake Garda by the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio between 1921 and 1938. The Vittoriale is not only an impressive house, but also comprises streets and squares, gardens, rivers, theatres and museums. The estate consists of the residence of d'Annunzio called the Prioria (Priory), an amphitheatre, the light cruiser Puglia set into a hillside, a boathouse containing the MAS vessel used by D'Annunzio in 1918 and a circular mausoleum. There are some cars, including a Fiat and an Isotta-Fraschini
