Monumento ai caduti del VIII Agosto 1848, Bronze memorial monument in Piazza VIII Agosto, Bologna, Italy
The monument consists of a tall granite base supporting a bronze sculpture depicting a local citizen in a determined fighting stance.
Created by sculptor Pasquale Rizzoli in 1903, this monument commemorates the citizens who died during the uprising against Austrian forces in 1848.
The memorial stands as a symbol of Bologna's resistance, representing the determination of local citizens to defend their independence from foreign control.
Located at the entrance of Montagnola Park, the monument serves as a central meeting point for visitors exploring the northern section of Bologna.
The statue's delayed inauguration, moved from August to September 1903, resulted from tensions between socialist groups and Catholic associations.
