The marble monument is mainly dedicated to those Alpini who died in the second world war. On the back of it you can read the writing, posthumous, in honour of the Fallen of 1915-18 and 1936. The work represents an Alpino staying on a truncated pyramidal pedestal and surmounted by a parallelepiped. The monument and the pedestal lay on a marble base and on an access stairs.

The monument has been erected and inaugurated on 1970. The plate in honour of the Fallen of 1915-18 and 1936 was erected on 1985, in occasion of the celebrations of 40 years from the end of the war.
We do not have any precise news about the date of constitution of the committee in favour of the monument for the Alpino, but we can suppose that, as for the other monuments to the Fallen, it has been created also in this case a town committee. The plate in honour of the Fallen of 1915-18 and 1936 was ordered by a precise committee born in occasion of the celebrations of 40 years from the end of the war.
The work, as we read by the signature on the tombstone, has been realized by the enterprise Dini of Ghivizzano.
