"Museo Nazionale Di Palazzo Venezia"
Immediately in front of the Vittoriano, on the western side of the square, is the Palazzo di Venezia. It can only be visited when the palace is hosting an exhibition. Fortunately, this is a rather common occurrence. The building was constructed in 1455 and served as the official residence of Benito Mussolini, who used the many balconies as elevated pulpits from which to address the crowds below. The palace also houses the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Venezia which has a permanent collection of Renaissance art as well as several pieces from the Middle Age through to the 18th century. Immediately behind the palace is the San Marco Basilica, which was founded in the 4th century but has been modified several times since then. It is most famous for its beautiful mosaic, which was completed in the 19th century.
