Redipuglia war memorial, War memorial in Fogliano Redipuglia, Italy

The memorial consists of 22 enormous stone terraces holding bronze plaques with names of 40,000 identified soldiers and remains of 60,000 unknown soldiers.

Architects Giovanni Greppi and Giannino Castiglioni designed this memorial, which opened on September 18, 1938, to honor Italian soldiers from World War I.

The memorial includes the Via Eroica, a path with 38 bronze plates displaying names of contested locations during the Isonzo battles of World War I.

The memorial complex contains a museum displaying military artifacts, photographs of the original memorial, and a topographical model showing the 1917 battle lines.

A single woman rests among the soldiers: Margherita Kaiser Parodi, a 21-year-old Red Cross nurse marked by a specially carved cross.
