Monumenti alle Madri e alle Vedove

Di queste case
non è rimasto
che qualche
brandello di muro

Di tanti
che mi corrispondevano
non è rimasto
neppure tanto

Ma nel cuore
nessuna croce manca

È il mio cuore
il paese più straziato

Dedicato a tutte le Madri e Vedove di guerra, la cui attesa fu vana

La Società dell’Ottavo reparto pose 8 maggio 2025

Menumento Alleato

(prima lastra)
In honor of the soldiers of 10th Mountain Division, 751st
Tank Battalion and 701 st Tank Destroyer who fought and fell in the line of duty during the Po Valley Campaign between Via Emilia and the southern bank of the Po River
20 – 20 April 1945
May their sacrifice be a constant reminder to the younger generations to pursue peace and everlasting memory of all those who lost their lives in our country in the final hours of the conflict.
