Info
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 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.
