Visible even from a long distance, given its location on the first slopes of Montemezzo, the ossuary temple of Monte San Pietro was planned in the 1950s by the Combattenti e Reduci association with the intent of remembering all the Fallen of Sovizzo. The work was, in a certain sense, home-made: the project was drawn up by the local painter and teacher Giorgio Peron, the De Marchi Muzzani family donated the land, the construction of the wall section was carried out by a notable deployment of bricklayers and volunteers from Sovizzo, with the intervention of men and equipment from the US military base in Vicenza. The inauguration took place in 1965, with a large popular demonstration, followed by numerous representatives of combatant and military associations and with the presence of Don Giovanni Brevi, gold medal for military valor, chaplain of the Julia division, veteran of Russia. In the basement of the Ossuary, composed of small urns, are collected the remains of 27 Fallen recovered from the battlefields, while on the internal walls are placed the tombstones with the names of the 79 Sovizzesi Fallen or missing in the two world wars. In the chapel is also preserved an urn with the remains of the Alpine soldier Roberto Pozza, who died in service in 1959 in Valle Aurina during the rescue operations of the population hit by an exceptional flood. The site traditionally hosts commemorative events for the days of November 4th and April 25th. Every day, at dusk, a recording with the tolling of the Bell of Rovereto, the Maria Dolens, is broadcast from the Ossuary broadcasting system.
