Victory square

Bolzano, Italy

About

Victory square is a controversial square behind the Victory Monument and it's symbol of Italian nationalism. In 2002 the city administration wanted to reconcile the population of the two ethnic groups changing the name into Peace square. The majority of the Italians didn't appreciate the gesture and opposed. The Italian right wing parties (for the name dedicated to the Italian victory during WW1) wanted a referendum which was won by the old name. Now the tables display the name Victory square (former Peace square).
