The creation of this monument was entrusted to Giuseppe Sacconi and launched in 1885, and its opening took place only in 1911. This grand monument was to serve the glorification of Italy after its reunification. It is made in the monumental classical forms dictated by the patriotic sentiments of the time. The heart of the monument - a majestic Altar of the Motherland statue in Rome, silent guardian of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Nearby is an equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II and the plate on which is engraved with the text of the news of the victory of 1918.
