Latest update: 17 January 2024
The modern landmarks of Italy detailed here capture some of the country's most iconic sights from large buildings to individual works of art.

Using the term modern quite loosely, this collection belong to the period between the beginning of the 16th century through to the 20th century. 

​The earliest creation from the list below is Michelangelo's Statue of David which took three years to finish from 1501 to 1504; it's currently on display in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence with a very impressive replica on display in Piazza della Signoria.
