The military memorial of Redipuglia, designed by a working group chaired by the sculptor Giannino Castiglioni and the architect Giovanni Greppi, is a monumental military cemetery built in the Fascist era and inaugurated on 18 September 1938 after three uninterrupted years of work.

It contains the remains of over 100,000 Italian soldiers who fell during the First World War. The bodies of the 39,857 identified fallen are arranged on the twenty-two steps, while the bodies of 60,330 unknown fallen rest in the last step, in two large common tombs on either side of the votive chapel.

The only woman buried in the shrine is a Red Cross nurse, who died at the age of 21, named Margherita Kaiser Parodi. His tomb is in the first row and stands out because a large cross is carved into the facade.

At the base of the imposing staircase stands the isolated tomb of the Duke of Aosta, who died in 1931, flanked by the urns of his generals who fell in combat.

The enormous size of the area involved makes Redipuglia the largest military shrine in Italy and one of the largest in the world.
