The “Monumento ai Caduti” (Monument to the Fallen) is placed in Piazza della Vittoria (Victory Square) just in front of “Santa Maria del Soccorso” (1859), the largest church in Livorno. This memorial, by the sculptor Mario Carlesi, honors the fallen in World War I and was inaugurated in 1925 at the presence of the King of Italy.
On a lower plinth three men rise their swords in a solemn oath under a statue representing the winged Victory. In several occasions every year, solemn wreath-laying ceremonies take place at the monument.

Delirio d'eroismo ottimamente rappresentato dal "sole in faccia"!
The first shot is so perfect!
Two very impressive photos! But as CQ said, the first shot takes the prize...the sun's starry blast is superb!
Perfect placement in the first photo! And after reading your text, I think it is very apt too.
I like the picture of the sun.
