Torre dei Caduti, Memorial tower in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Bergamo, Italy
The Torre dei Caduti rises 45 meters high in sandstone from Bagnatica, featuring a large clock surrounded by wind allegories and bronze sculptures.
Construction began in 1922 under architect Marcello Piacentini's direction, and Benito Mussolini inaugurated the tower on October 27, 1924.
The monument displays names of Bergamo's fallen soldiers from World War I engraved in gold on black marble across its five internal floors.
Located 750 meters from Bergamo railway station, the tower stands at the beginning of Sentierone, near the bus stop on Viale Roma.
The tower contains a bronze statue of Italia Vittoriosa holding a sword, with cherubs supporting Bergamo's coat of arms in a window lunette.
