Monument to the Three Carabinieri, Military memorial in Fiesole, Italy.

The Monument to the Three Carabinieri is a bronze sculpture by Marcello Guasti, unveiled in 1964 in the Parco della Rimembranza on the San Francesco hill. It consists of forty-five welded bronze elements forming a curved, rough-surfaced pincer from which twisted, pointed flames emerge, referencing the Carabinieri flame. The work leans diagonally between the retaining wall behind it and the plain of Florence below.

On 11 August 1944, three young carabinieri stationed in Fiesole—Alberto La Rocca, Vittorio Marandola and Fulvio Sbarretti—left their barracks with Francesco Naclerio to join the liberation of Florence. The German command threatened to shoot ten hostages unless they returned; the four gave themselves up, and on 12 August the three were killed while Naclerio was spared. Each was posthumously awarded the gold medal for military valor, and in 1964 Fiesole erected this monument.

The three carabinieri were not officers but young soldiers: Alberto La Rocca, Vittorio Marandola and Fulvio Sbarretti, each awarded the gold medal for military valor posthumously. A plaque beside the sculpture bears the Carabinieri flame, their names and the inscription 'Alla fiamma dell'Arma attinsero forza e fede per essere fiamma di umanità e di giustizia'. Every year a commemoration is held at the monument with institutions and surviving relatives of the victims.

Access is through paved pathways within the park, which are straightforward to navigate and offer multiple viewing angles. The site is best visited during good daylight to appreciate both the sculpture and the surrounding landscape.

Guasti first built a large wooden model, then welded the monument on site from forty-five bronze pieces. Its base sits level with the holm oaks planted after World War I, one for each fallen soldier, linking the victims of the two wars.
