A monument dedicated to the young pilot Franco Valsecchi from Lecco, a 22-year-old second lieutenant, who crashed here on November 13, 1970, during a training flight compromised by the impenetrable fog of that day. The memorial consists of the tail rudder of his Republic RF-84F Thunderflash reconnaissance aircraft, planted on a concrete base with a marble plaque.
Here's the sad story of the flight and its discovery:
