Cesare Battisti's mausoleum, Monument and national heritage site on Doss Trento, Italy
Description
Cesare Battisti's mausoleum is a rationalist monument on Doss Trento featuring a circular structure of sixteen marble columns. These columns rise approximately fourteen meters and support a marble crown that stands out prominently against the surrounding landscape.
History
The mausoleum was inaugurated in 1935 by King Victor Emmanuel III and honors Cesare Battisti, who was executed in 1916 for his resistance against Austrian rule. The building itself was constructed during an era when such monuments reflected the political direction of the state.
Culture
The monument carries the name of resistance against Austrian rule, and its clear geometric form speaks to an era when architecture was meant to express power. Visitors see how the architectural language of the 1930s translated political messages into marble and stone.
Practical
The monument is accessible from multiple sides, allowing visitors to explore different perspectives of the structure. Inside, the Historical Museum Foundation of Trentino presents an exhibition about Battisti's life and work.
Did you know?
Four original military cannons from the Battisti Battery stand at defensive positions around the monument and connect military history with the memorial. These cannons date from the period of conflicts that shaped Battisti's commitment.
