Sacrario del Martinetto, Memorial and park in Turin, Italy

The Sacrario del Martinetto is the only surviving part of Turin's former shooting range, at the corner of Corso Svizzera and Corso Appio Claudio. It consists of the walled enclosure where executions took place, now containing a stone marker, a plaque with the names of 59 executed people, and a display case with the remains of one of the chairs used for the shootings. A garden surrounds the memorial, while apartment buildings occupy the rest of the former range.

The Municipality of Turin built the Martinetto shooting range in 1883, a rectangular walled complex 400 metres long and 120 wide at the end of Corso Regina Margherita, entrusted to the national marksmen's society. After the armistice of 8 September 1943 it was used for executions; over 60 partisans died there. On 5 April 1944 the eight members of the first Piedmontese military committee of the CLN were shot. The range moved to Basse di Stura in 1951 and the memorial was arranged in 1967.

The memorial plaque unveiled on 8 July 1945 lists 59 executed people by name and profession, without dates, following the postwar custom for Turin's Resistance memorials. Franco Antonicelli, then president of the Piedmont CLN, gave the official oration and referred to a list of 61 victims in the document Elenco detenuti giustiziati al Martinetto.

The memorial stands at the corner of Corso Svizzera and Corso Appio Claudio, at the end of Corso Regina Margherita. The enclosure kept in 1967 holds a stone marker, the plaque with the names of the 59 executed and a display case with the remains of one of the execution chairs, surrounded by a garden. The annual civic commemoration is held on 5 April.

The grounds preserve the memory of eight members of the Piedmont regional military committee who were executed in 1944 and are honored each year on April 5. This particular focus underscores the local significance of these fighters in the history of resistance.
