The monument, located next to the church of the town, has a base on which three vertical podium bodies with an epigraph are placed. Above them is a sculptural group depicting a man holding a flag with a woman in his arms holding his son (a classic representation of the homeland embodied in the family).
Details:
- Resolution of the municipal council of Lucca 17th September 1926.
