Monument to the martyrs of piazzale Loreto, Memorial monument in Piazzale Loreto, Milan, Italy.

The 500-centimeter tall memorial monument designed by Giannino Castiglioni stands prominently in the center of Piazzale Loreto, marking a central point in Milan's urban landscape.

The monument commemorates fifteen Italian partisans who were executed by German forces in August 1944 during the Nazi occupation of northern Italy.

The memorial serves as a gathering location for annual ceremonies where citizens honor the resistance members who sacrificed their lives for Italian liberation.

Visitors can reach the monument through the Loreto metro station, which connects multiple transportation lines and provides direct access to the memorial site.

The monument marks the exact location where the bodies of executed partisans were displayed, later becoming the same spot where Mussolini's body was exhibited in 1945.
