The monument is in honour of the young men of Caprignana, fallen during the first and second world war. The monumental altar, that you can reach by stairs, is formed by two spaces delimited by a wall. In the higher space there is the eighteenth-century portal of the old town church destroyed by the earthquake of 1920. On it, there is the sandstone tombstone with the names and photoes of fifteen Fallen, while on the surrounding land, you can see five plants as memorial to the young men. The metallic yard, near the portal, belongs to the monumental complex.

Realized between 1994-95, the complex has been officially inaugurated on 13th August 1995.
The monument is in honour of fifteen young Fallen (most of them Alpini), on a total of 65 citizens. The price paid by Caprignana during the two conflicts was really high and all the town had a great desire to honour their people by a monument. For this reason, in the first nineties it has been created a town committee, presided by the Vice-Mayor Elio Crudeli who has followed all the phases of realizations of the monuments.
The author of the monument is unknown.
