Monumental military cemetery of Arsiero, Military cemetery in Arsiero, Italy.

This monumental military cemetery features carefully arranged graves, memorial sculptures, and inscriptions that honor fallen soldiers from both Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies who died during World War I.

During the war a rough military cemetery stood above the town on the slopes of Monte Caviojo; after 1918 the graves were moved beside the civil cemetery and given a monumental entrance, enclosure and marble headstones on concrete foundations. Prince Umberto of Savoy visited in 1929, and the cemetery was inaugurated on 19 October 1930 in the presence of Filiberto Ludovico of Savoy, Duke of Pistoia. It holds 2,223 soldiers, 1,129 of them unknown.

The central ossuary contains the remains of 403 Italian and 726 Austro-Hungarian unknown soldiers, symbolizing brotherhood in death and promoting peace between former enemy nations through shared remembrance.

The cemetery lies next to the civil cemetery of Arsiero, with a large iron gate at the entrance and the graves laid out in a Greek cross. Pietro Marocco's tomb stands at the southern end of the cross, bordered by cypresses. The Cristo Mutilato is kept in the central, most ornate section of the iron railing.

The cemetery houses the Cristo Mutilato, a damaged crucifix found as a stump after church bombings during the war, preserved as a powerful symbol of sacrifice and redemption.
