    It is one of the most important places of remembrance of anti-fascism in Bologna. Here, in December 1944, groups of partisans were led by the Nazi-Fascists on several occasions and then shot. Their bodies were found, after the war, in the ravine below. Almost thirty years later, thanks to the economic effort of the Municipalities that created the “Committee to Honor the Fallen of Sabbiuno” and with the mostly voluntary and free work of designers and workers, what is considered one of the most evocative monuments to the Resistance was created. The path from the farmhouse to the site of the massacre is marked by fifty-three boulders with the names of the recognized victims engraved on them. The fifty-fourth was placed to remember all the other fallen up to the symbolic number of one hundred, as their real number could not be ascertained. The curved concrete wall represents the deployment of the soldiers and the red barbed wire the falling of the bodies to the valley where a white cross is placed. The project is by the Gruppo Architetti Città Nuova, and the inauguration took place on 2 June 1973.
