Monumento alla Bella Italia, Marble memorial in Piazza della Loggia, Brescia, Italy
The Monumento alla Bella Italia features a female figure atop an octagonal base adorned with carved panels depicting historical scenes of uprising.
Giovanni Battista Lombardi completed this monument in 1864, replacing a Venetian column that previously marked the site of public executions.
The carved panels on the base illustrate specific events from the Ten Days of Brescia, including the barricade at San Barnaba Square.
The monument stands in the northeastern section of Piazza della Loggia, offering visitors clear views from multiple angles throughout the square.
King Victor Emmanuel II personally commissioned this memorial after witnessing the location where Austrian forces executed 45 insurgents in 1849.
