The street was named after the Italian Palace which had been built here in 1739 and demolished in the early XIX 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 st was called Malaya Italyanskaya ('Small Italian').[2]
