Thoroughfare in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Italyanskaya Street is a street in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which goes from the Griboyedov Canal to the Fontanka Embankment. It intersects with the Arts and Manezhnaya squares, as well as the Mikhailovskaya, Sadovaya, Malaya Sadovaya and Karavannaya streets.
The street was named after the Italian Palace, which had been built there in 1739 and demolished in the early 19th century.[1] The Ekaterininskiy Institute was built in its place.
Between 1871 and 1902, the street was called Bolshaya Italyanskaya ('Big Italian'), while the modern Zhukovskogo Street was called Malaya Italyanskaya ('Small Italian').[2]
