Not far from the Trench of the Frasche, a majestic monument, Corridoni Memorial, is dedicated to Filippo Corridoni, who fell here on 23rd October 1915, during the Third Battle of Isonzo. It is located on the main trail of the Battle Area, near the Sassari Brigade Memorial.
This 23m high memorial is well visible from afar. It was designed by sculptor Francesco Ellero from Latisana, and personally ordered by Benito Mussolini in 1933 to homage his old friend, who had never found an adequate resting place before.
Built during the fascist period, it features some typical elements of that era: the open right hand in traditional Roman salute, the eagle looking eastwards and the fasces all along the sides.
