Lapide ai caduti del rione di Pelleria / Commemorative plaque to war victims from the district of Pelleria

This is a rectangular marble plaque with a central bronze bas-relief, a dedicatory epigraph and a bronze votive lamp at its base. The work is situated on the side facade of the Church of S. Tommaso in Pelleria, in one of the town's most working-class districts. The plaque, inaugurated with grand ceremony on 21st June 1925, was intended to demonstrate the "re-conquest" of the town's proletarian places by the Fascists.
