War memorial in Ancona, World War I memorial in Passetto district, Ancona, Italy.
The circular monument stands with eight Doric columns made of white Istrian stone, featuring a central altar and two grand staircases.
Architect Guido Cirilli designed this memorial between 1927 and 1930, with its official inauguration taking place on November 3rd, 1932.
The structure displays verses from Giacomo Leopardi's 'All'Italia' and includes military symbols such as helmets and swords at its base.
Located in Piazza IV Novembre, the memorial offers views of the Adriatic Sea and provides access to the nearby Passetto beach.
From a maritime perspective, the monument with its dual staircases creates a silhouette that forms the shape of an eagle.
