During the summer holidays we made a stop in Aosta. Lovely town, great for a day visit. On the east side of the city center you will find the Augustus Arch. On the day we were here, unfortunately, it was being renovated. I added a picture (with link / source) to give you a good idea of what it looks like if there is no scaffolding.

About the arch:
"The Arch of Augustus (in French Arc d'Auguste) is a monument in the city of Aosta, northern Italy. It was erected in 25 BC on the occasion of the Roman victory over the Salassi and was the work of Aulus Terentius Varro Murena

It is located at the end of the decumanus maximus, a little distance from the Bourg Saint-Ours (quarter of the Collegiate Church of Saint Ursus) and from the eastern entrance of the city wall (the Porta Prætoria)."
