Some monuments of my little country


Monument dedicated to the fallen Alpine War in the First World War .
From Pellice Tower, 900 boys left ... and about 600 returned.
The city had about 4,500 inhabitants

Monument dedicated to fallen in the lager

Monument dedicated to the Parthians of the Second World War. Torre Pellice was an important political center where a clandestine newspaper was printed distributed in much of northern Italy.

Public garden dedicated to the martyrs of the White Rose small German anti-Nazi group

In the same garden there is a memorial to remember the last clash between partisans and Germans fleeing and there is a big paper illustrating the places of resistance in the valley

I was hoping to see this.
I believe the anniversary of the war against Austria
was a week or two ago?

Thank you VERY much for sharing.
any historical statues from your region would also be very welcome.

The soldier stood by the crucifix would make a excellent model.
