    The BAPTISTERY, a monument of peace, wanted by the "Boys of 99" on the banks of the "sacred river" Piave, was inaugurated on 19 June 1983. It is rooted in the past, in memory of the fallen of the Great War, but above all it is a warning of peace and brotherhood for all peoples and in particular for future generations. Every year the anniversary of the inauguration is celebrated with the "Day of Peace" whose "highlight" moment is the S. Baptism of Italian and foreign children as a sign of peace and brotherhood among peoples.

        On the banks of this river
        reddened by the blood of opposing armies that fought bloody battles there in 1917 and 1918
        the Boys of '99 in Italy who sacrificed themselves there in their thousands wanted this baptistery as a symbol of salvation of life and peace to reconcile men with God through baptism and bring all people back into brotherhood.
        The Municipality and citizens of Fossalta di Piave, all men of good will contributed to the erection
        of this temple of peace
        June 19, 1983.
