MONUMENT DE LA VICTOIRE
The victory monument of Bolzano is dedicated to the Italian martyrs of the First World War.
The Bolzano Victory Monument was erected between 1926 and 1928 on the orders of Benito Mussolini, following the annexation of the Austrian province by Italy. It is dedicated to the Italian martyrs of the First World War. Built in marble and 19 meters wide, it took the place of a former Austrian monument. It was inaugurated on July 12, 1928 by King Victor Emmanuel III and representatives of the Fascist government. The monument has been hotly contested since its erection, particularly by the German-speaking population of South Tyrol.
