Monumento ai Caduti di San Gimignano

The monument to the Fallen of San Gimignano consists of a travertine obelisk with a continuous bronze high relief along the four sides of the base and marble tombstones with memories. On the front there is a real Austrian submarine cannon wrapped in a bronze crown.
The high-reliefs on the front represent “The fight” or a soldier holding a bomb and supporting a dying comrade; on the back “Work in the fields” or the widow, the orphan, the man with the plow and the country; on the sides, cherubs with festoons of laurel and oak leaves and acorns with war-heraldic symbols in the center (a sword embedded in a sort of shield carved in bas-relief with an eagle on the right and a lily on the left). The monument is located in the center of the old Parco della Rimembranza, today Piazzale Martiri di Montemaggio.
