Monumento Nazionale al Carabiniere, Monument and sculpture in Royal Gardens, Turin, Italy.
The Monumento Nazionale al Carabiniere is a monument in the Royal Gardens featuring multiple sculptural components arranged as an ensemble. It includes a 25-meter podium decorated with bronze reliefs, a bronze statue of a carabiniere soldier, and a pillar with additional sculptural groupings.
The monument was inaugurated in 1933 with King Victor Emmanuel III present, marking official recognition of the Carabinieri by the Italian state. Damaged during World War II bombing, it was later restored after the war, reflecting its continued importance to the nation.
The monument honors Carabinieri through names of decorated soldiers engraved on the rear, recording their service to the nation. These inscriptions reflect how the force holds a special place in Italian public life and memory.
The monument is located in the outer section of the Royal Palace gardens, at the intersection of Viale I Maggio and Viale dei Partigiani. It can be visited during the day whenever the gardens are open to the public.
The fundraising campaign for the monument gathered more money than required, leading to the establishment of a dedicated foundation using the surplus funds. This unexpected abundance demonstrated strong public support for honoring the Carabinieri.
