    It is a cave-shrine built to commemorate the Fallen of Abruzzo in the First World War.
    The shrine is an octagonal-shaped artificial cave that recalls the mosaic of the floor, it preserves the remains of Lieutenant of Vascello Andrea Bafile, a sailor from Aquila who died on the Piave in 1918. Inside there is the marble sarcophagus, sculpted by Felice Giuliante. The walls are adorned with three large ceramic panels and floor tiles made by Basilio and Tommaso Cascella, representing the Pietà and the Sacrifice.
