The Monte Pasubio War Memorial stands on the promontory of the Colle di Bellavista in the municipality of Valli del Pasubio<\/strong> near the Pian delle Fugazze pass in the Province of Trento, from which there is a wonderful view over the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\nThe works on the ossuary, on the initiative of the 3 November 1918 Friends of the Fighters of the 1st Army,<\/strong> started in 1920 to contain the remains of the Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers who fell in the Monte Pasubio area during the war. It was inaugurated on 29 August 1926<\/strong>. Inside are the bodies of 1,558 identified solders, 3,400 unknown Italian and 60 unknown Austro-Hungarian soldiers.<\/p>\nThe monument rises on a rocky spur overlooking the Leogra valley and blends in well with the mountain landscape. It is a graceful square-shaped building in rationalist style designed by the architect Ferruccio Chemello and decorated by Tito Chini and Umberto Bellotto.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The slender 35-metre high tower is a truncated pyramid that rests on a broad plinth; there is a luminous lantern in the form of a cross at the top that makes it a veritable beacon that can be seen from a distance.<\/p>\n
It is made up of two parts: the ossuary<\/strong> and the chapel<\/strong>. <\/span><\/h5>\nThe ossuary<\/strong>, positioned in the plinth of the tower, consists of a central crypt and two concentric galleries. The remains of 70 soldiers decorated for military valour are laid in the crypt, where is buried General Guglielmo Pecori Giraldi, who was in command of the 1st Army from 9 May 1916. The remains of known and unknown soldiers are laid in the gallery around the crypt.<\/p>\nThe entrance to the chapel<\/strong> is on the opposite side of the monument, towards the south. It contains a statue of the Immaculate Virgin and artistic stained glass windows and frescoes depicting the images of holy warriors. Steps from the chapel lead to the upper floor where there is a splendid view of the mountains all round the tower.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
