    The Monument to the Fallen of the First World War is located in Piazza IV Novembre, in the Passetto area; in Ancona it is simply called "the Monument", par excellence. It is located at the end of Viale della Vittoria and is connected to the Passetto beach below through a wide staircase that is divided into two semicircular ramps.

    It was designed in the 1920s, together with the Scalinata del Passetto, by the Ancona architect Guido Cirilli in the form of a circular temple (monoptero) characterized by an elegantly reinterpreted Doric order. The construction, with 8 fluted columns, is placed above a concentric circular staircase and is made entirely of Istrian stone. The base is decorated with helmets and swords, symbols of defense and attack respectively. In the center there is a small altar.
