The sculptural monument, with the ex-school, is dedicated to the memorial of the Fallen of both wars. The work is composed of a statue of a standing hero on a base that simulates rocks blocks. The soldier, while he drops a bomb with a desperate and proud anxiety, keeps against his breast the tricolour flag with an extreme and strong defence. In front of the rock, you can see a plate with the names of the Fallen of both wars, put later to honour also the Fallen of the second war.
