    Tips

    As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments or war memorials - like this "Monumento ai caduti" in Trieste - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
    Many places and monuments that one encounters on the way are a testimony - still significant and current today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this is the case for every generation:
    -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
    -2- Remind people to keep the peace

      This is what I read about it:

      At the end of the Parco della Rimembranza, just before the square on the San Giusto hill, there is a large statue in honour of the fallen of the First World War. Inaugurated in 1935 in the presence of King Victor Emmanuel III and various fascist dignitaries, the monument was created by the sculptor Attilio Selva from Trieste, while Enrico del Nebbio, the architect of the already famous Foro Italico and the Palazzo della Farnesina, made the marble base.

      The monument to the fallen of Trieste represents five men in a dramatic war scene in classical style. Three of them are carrying an injured comrade, while the fifth figure protects their backs with a shield. The work is more than five metres high in its entirety, the statues are made of cast iron and the base is made of white stone from Istria. It bears the dedication "Trieste / ai caduti / nella guerra di liberazione / MCMXV - MCMXVIII" (Trieste, to the fallen of the War of Liberation / MCMXV - MCMXVIII), where the term "war of liberation" does not refer to the resistance in World War II, but to the idea of an Italian Trieste liberated from Austria-Hungary, which was so dear to fascist national patriotism.

        If you make the walk up through Parco della Rimembranza to the Castle of Saint Giusto, close-by you will be able to see a large statue honouring soldiers who fell in WWI. On top of a large white stone base are five male statues depicting a battle scene constructed out of cast iron. From this high point there are views over Trieste and out to the ocean.
