War Memorial of Torre

The monument is situated on the flight of steps of the local church, creating a suggestive architectural composition. It has a large square base in the form of three marble steps, on which there is a four-sided vertical element, topped by a bronze sculpture. The epigraph is placed in the front of the vertical plinth, while on the front of the base there is another stone plaque which added later.
The monument was inaugurated 26^th September 1926. Its creation was entrusted to the well known sculptor Giuseppe Baccelli, famous above all in the Lucca area for his extensive experience in the field of war monuments and other sculptural works.
The epigraph - as blatantly confirmed by the adding of two fasces - bears the signs of the strong fascist propaganda's arguing against the "deniers of the Motherland", and the evident function of this monument in supporting this vision. At the base, after World War Two, a plaque dedicated to the fallen in that war was added.
