Places to see in ( Ancona - Italy ) Monumento ai Caduti
The Monument to the Fallen of the First World War of Ancona is located in Piazza IV Novembre, in the Passetto district ; in Ancona it is simply called "the Monument", par excellence . It is located at the end of the long Viale della Vittoria and is connected to the underlying Passetto beach through a wide staircase that, at a certain point, is divided into two semi-circular ramps.
It was designed in the twenties , together with the Scalinata del Passetto, by the Anconetan architect Guido Cirilli in the form of a circular temple ( monoptero ) characterized by an elegantly reinterpreted Doric order. The building has eight fluted columns , is placed above a concentric circular staircase and is made entirely of Istrian stone . The base is decorated with helmets and swords , respectively symbols of defense and attack. In the middle there is a small altar .
Widespread is the belief that, seen from the sea, the entire structure, including the steps, look like an eagle in flight, with ramps that symbolize the open wings, and the monument that is crowned head. If this is the impression one may have, surely the effect had not been foreseen by architect Cirilli when he designed the monument.
Here are celebrated the most important national events , such as the Anniversary of the victory in the First World War - Festival of the Armed Forces (November 4) and the Republic Day (June 2); also the Liberation Day on April 25th is celebrated here first, and then at the impressive monument to the Resistance site on the Pincio .
In the pine forest located near the Monument there are games for children, a lift that leads to the underlying beach of the Passetto and the terminus of the trolley and bus lines. The pinewood has also sometimes been one of the markets that are held from 1 to 4 May during the traditional fair of San Ciriaco .
The monument to the fallen is a reference point and meeting place for many citizens, who in the beautiful days like to sit on the steps around it to admire the Adriatic Sea and then walk along the Viale della Vittoria, or stop in the green of the nearby pine forest.
