Monumento alla Resistenza, Copper resistance monument in Lodi, Italy.

The Monumento alla Resistenza is a copper sculpture by Gianni Vigorelli, with an internal iron structure, standing on a stone base in the Federico Barbarossa public gardens. It depicts a woman lifting her child toward the sky, a gesture symbolizing love for new generations and trust that they will grow up developing ideals of peace.

The Monumento alla Resistenza was made by sculptor Gianni Vigorelli and inaugurated on 25 April 1967, the 22nd anniversary of the Liberation, in the presence of former partisan and senator for life Ferruccio Parri. In 2011 the child's hand fell from the statue, prompting a full dismantling and restoration that ended in spring 2015, in time for the 70th anniversary of the Liberation.

The monument serves as a gathering place where visitors encounter stories of those who resisted during the occupation years. Local groups use the space for remembrance, making the history visible and present in everyday life.

The monument sits in central Lodi and is easy to access on foot from the surrounding streets. The area is open and well-maintained, making it accessible throughout the day.

Locals nicknamed the monument "Belfagor" because its look recalled the title character of a popular television serial. The copper figure rests on a stone base carved with two inscriptions: "Mai più violenza e sopraffazione" on the front and "Lodi agli ideali e ai martiri della Resistenza" on the back.
