Mausoleo Ossario Garibaldino

The granite mausoleum features a quadriportico with three rounded arches on each side, standing elevated on a staircase with bronze braziers at its corners.

The monument, inaugurated in 1941, preserves remains of soldiers who died fighting for Rome's unification between 1849 and 1870 under Giuseppe Garibaldi's leadership.

The crypt contains 36 burial niches with names of 1,600 fallen patriots, including Goffredo Mameli, who wrote the Italian national anthem at age 22.

The mausoleum remains temporarily closed for restoration works under the Caput Mundi program, with reopening scheduled for April 2025.

The central pillar features alabaster palm trees and votive crosses, while the lowered vault ceiling displays golden mosaic tiles above multicolored marble walls.
