The monument dedicated to the illustrious fellow citizen, architect Giuseppe Sacconi, designer of the Altare della Patria in Rome, was erected in Piazza Umberto I and inaugurated on August 13, 1922. It is made up of 22 blocks of Carrara marble, each weighing around 20 tons. The monument was designed by architect Luigi Morosini, with the bust sculpted by Eugenio Maccagnani—both of whom were involved in the completion of the Vittoriano.
