Описание: Please watch till the end for a 360-degree experience 😉

Ciao everyone! ☀️

In this vlog we will visit Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), a city gate dating back to the 19th century, although its origins can be traced back to a gate of the Roman walls of Milan. At the time, the city gate was called Porta Giovia (Jupiter's Gate) and was meant to control an important road leading to what is now Castelseprio (a significant Lombard town in the early Middle Ages).

In 1807, under the Napoleonic rule, the Arch of Peace was built by architect Luigi Cagnola. This new gate marked the place where the new Strada del Sempione entered Milan. This road, which is still in use today, connects Milan to Paris through the Simplon Pass crossing the Alps. At the time, the gate was still called Porta Giovia. When the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy fell and Milan was conquered by the Austrian Empire, the gate was not yet completed, and the construction was resumed again by Cagnola, in 1826, for Emperor Francis II, who dedicated the monument to the 1815 Congress of Vienna.

The gate was the scene of several prominent events in the Milanese history of the 19th century. On 22 March 1848, the Austrian army led by marshal Josef Radetzky escaped from Milan through Porta Giovia after being defeated in the Five Days of Milan rebellion. On 8 June 1859, four days after the Battle of Magenta, Napoleon III and Victor Emmanuel II of Italy triumphally entered Milan through the gate.
