In 1920, a committee was established to erect a monument in memory of the 171 fallen soldiers of San Daniele. The central area of \u200b\u200bthe square was chosen to house it, replacing the old fountain. The monument was solemnly inaugurated on September 19, 1923.
\nIt was subsequently decided to create the Remembrance Park around the monument. To lay out the new garden, the centuries-old horse chestnut trees surrounding the monument and those bordering the large square, once used for markets and major city celebrations, were uprooted. This intervention resulted in the layout of the park as it still exists today.
\nThe monument, located at the center of the garden, is bordered by a circular box hedge open at the front. A solid base of Piasentina stone ashlars, slightly flared and rounded on the long sides, supports the altar clad in blocks and slabs of Aurisina stone. Above it rises the bronze sculpture depicting Faith: a kneeling woman mourns the fallen soldier, bending over him and holding up a small winged Victory.
\nThe inscriptions are spread across the main faces of the altar and are made with applied characters. After the Second World War, the names of those who fell in subsequent conflicts were added along the base. The most recent inscription, located on the main front, commemorates the military rescuers who died while assisting the populations affected by the 1976 earthquake. At the center of the monument is a wrought-iron laurel wreath, an enduring symbol of memory and gratitude. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7116,"template":"","tipo_luogo_sd":[362],"zona_sd":[263],"class_list":["post-6588","sd-luogo","type-sd-luogo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo_luogo_sd-monuments","zona_sd-city-center"],"yoast_head":"\n
