"Honor and Christian mercy to those who have fallen here. May their sacrifice remind men of the ways of justice and love on which true peace flourishes". The prayer, the same reported at the Foiba di Basovizza, also stands out on the monument positioned at the end of Foiba 149, in a wood on the edge of the town of Opicina. Another plaque, placed to the side, reads: "The Istrians, Fiumani, Dalmati to their fallen".

It is difficult not to feel a shiver run down your spine when faced with these macabre monuments that commemorate what happened in the immediate post-war period between the mid and late 1940s.
