War memorial in Como, War memorial from 1933 in Como, Italy
The granite structure rises 30 meters above Lake Como, featuring large windows and exterior walls covered in stone from Aurisina and Reppen.
The National Fascist Party commissioned architect Giuseppe Terragni in 1931 to design this monument commemorating soldiers who died during World War One.
The polished surface displays the names of 650 fallen soldiers along with an inscription from Antonio Sant'Elia about heroes resting in Trieste or paradise.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking buses 11, C10, C20, C28, or N7 to Viale Fratelli Roselli, followed by a 500-meter walk.
A monolith made of Diorite d'Anzola weighing 400 quintals stands inside the memorial chapel, bearing inscriptions of the fallen soldiers' names.
