The War Memorial of Musocco commemorates the fallen of old town of Musocco during the First World War. Musocco incorporated in Milan in 1923. It's located in Piazzale Santorre di Santarosa into Quartiere Varesina covering all the four directions of the square, and it's clearly visible along Viale Espinasse. The monument was inaugurated in 1924〔''Antonio Iosa'', Memoria storica e rinnovo urbano, I quartieri della zona 20 (Prima del Ponte Palizzi), "''Historical memory and urban renewal, The neighborhood of 20th zone (Before Palizzi Bridge)''" - 2nd Volume, Pages 486-487〕 and is the work of Ugo Prat. It stands on a plinth surmounted by an iron crown while in the west and east stand two statues of women in marble. On the base two bas-reliefs in bronze complete the work. A bed surrounds the monument and on it, under the statues, two commemorative stones list the names of the fallen. In 2008, after the plaques with the names of the fallen had become illegible, the monument was restored.〔(Caduti del Musocco Terminato il restauro ), "''Fallen of Musocco, Restore is ended''", Comune di Milano, 29 dicembre 2008〕〔(La vittoria di Severina: tornano alla luce i nomi dei caduti del Musocco ), "''The Severina's victory, the names of Musocco's fallen coming back''", Corriere della Sera 30 dicembre 2008〕 == Two statues == The statue to the east, towards Via De Rossi, represents Italy and the marble is inscribed: ''Musocco ai suoi caduti'', Musocco its glorious fallen. The second woman to the west, towards Via Galliari, has a book in her hand entitled, ''Storia'', meaning History; below, on the marble, it shows the dates in Roman numerals of the beginning and end of the Great War for Italy: ''XXIV-V-MCMXV IV-XI-MCMXVIII''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「War Memorial of Musocco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
