The building, of great artistic and architectural value, was dedicated to the disabled and invalid veterans of the Great War. It is a welfare institute, built in 1938, designed by the architect Alfredo Soressi, as the headquarters of the local section of ANMIG (National Association of War Disabled and Invalids), founded in 1917. The house, although small in size, conveys an impression of monumentality: it has a cylindrical central body, from which an octagonal tower rises. The entrance is raised and preceded by three steps, the portal is framed by two large semi-columns, which end with two imperial eagles and support a heavy band. The building is covered in brick and stone. The structure has two rows of windows, rectangular on the first floor and ending with a curved profile on the second floor, while the two large openings on the ground floor, at the sides of the entrance, are filled with glass blocks. The portal has a wrought iron gate, and is surmounted by a lunette, in which the coat of arms of the Association of Mutilated and Invalids of War is depicted. Inside the building, on the ground floor, there were the clinics and the rooms for the distribution of medicines, while on the first floor, since 1938, the offices of the Piacenza Section of the ANMIG have been located. Above the entrance door you can read the phrase "House of the Mutilated". These are the symbols present: the eagles symbolizing invincibility and the centrally planned temple (remembered in the structure of the building), which brings the building itself closer to the votive temple, therefore to an environment where the cult of sacrifice and love for the homeland is celebrated. Unfortunately, recently the upper part of the building was closed due to damage to the roof. The provincial section of the ANMIG was therefore closed, due to lack of funds for repairs, despite the fact that there are still many historical members of the province who are mutilated and in need of assistance.
