The Sanctuary of Montello is one of the most important ossuaries housing the remains

are collected from the Italians who died during the First World War.

The sanctuary is located in the hamlet of Colesel de Zorzi, in the municipality of Nervesa

della Battaglia). It collects the remains of 9,325 (initially 9,316)

Italian soldiers (of whom 6,099 identified and 3,226 unknown), previously buried

in approximately one hundred and twenty cemeteries spread along the Piave front. It became

designed by the Roman architect Felice Nori and completed in 1935. The shape is

similar to that of other buildings of this type: a cube-shaped structure

with a large concrete square, empty in the middle, around which the stairs revolve. It

complex is divided into two parts: the lower one, of three floors, houses the

bodies in single or communal cells with marble cladding; the

uppermost is a large tower from which you can admire the landscape that it

was the center of the fighting. Everything culminates in a glass and steel dome,

completed in the 1980s. Located inside the mausoleum, in the hollow part

a small chapel. There is also a part that is used as a museum

collects artefacts and news about the Solstizio battle. Nearby is the Sacello

Francesco Baracca, a shrine dedicated to the absolute Italian ace of aces from the

First World War, with 34 aerial victories.
