Monte Grappa war memorial, Military memorial and cemetery in Pieve del Grappa, Italy

The memorial extends across five concentric circular terraces on Mount Grappa's summit, reaching an altitude of 1,776 meters above sea level.

Built between 1932 and 1935, the memorial contains the remains of 12,615 Italian soldiers and 10,295 Austro-Hungarian soldiers from World War I.

The Madonna del Grappa statue, installed in 1901 by future Pope Pius X, stands at the memorial's peak as a symbol of faith.

Visitors can access the memorial through the Via Eroica, a 250-meter path marked with stone pillars indicating significant battle locations.

General Gaetano Giardino, commander of the Grappa Army, requested burial among his soldiers between the fourth and fifth terrace levels.
