Brazilian Military Memorial (Monumento Votivo Militar Brasileiro)

Highlight • Monument

It is a military shrine erected in honor of the Brazilian soldiers who fell during the Second World War in Italy. At the end of the war the bodies of 462 fallen Brazilian soldiers and officers were buried near Pistoia in the San Rocco area. And in fact the monument is located right between the Church of Santa Maria a San Rocco and the hamlet of Candeglia.
In 1960 the Brazilian government decided to bring back to their homeland the remains of the fallen who were buried in Rio de Janeiro. Subsequently, in the place where the cemetery stood, the votive monument was erected which can still be seen today.
