Vittoria is a station of the Brescia Metro, in the city of Brescia in northern Italy. [2] The station is in the historic core of the city, in the north-west of the Piazza della Vittoria.

Archaeological discoveries in the old city centre, and at Vittoria the buried ruins of a tower dating back to the later Middle Ages, resulted in a slowdown of the construction work in the area and some design changes. [3]
