​Redipuglia (GO), from the Slovenian “sredij polije” that means “middle earth”, is the biggest Military Memorial Monument in Italy; it has been designed by the Architect Giovanni Greppi and the Sculptor Giannino Castiglioni.

It was inaugurated in 1938 and it houses the bodies of 100 000 Fallen soldiers during the Great War.

The complex, built on the slopes of Monte Sei Busi (a very competed mount during the first phase of the Great War), is like a military formation; at its base there is the tomb of the Duke of Aosta, the 3^rd Army Commander, with the tombs of his Generals on its sides.

On the twenty-two steps there are the bodies of the 39 857 Fallen soldiers that have been identified.

On the last step there are the bodies of the 60 ​330 unknown Fallen soldiers, situated in two big common tombs along the sides of the votive chapel.

Inside the chapel and in the two adjacent rooms there are the personal objects of the Italian and the Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

The big mausoleum was built in front of the first Cemetery of the 3^rd​ Army, situated on Sant’Elia Hill that today is a kind of outdoor museum known as Parco della Rimembranza (Remembrance Park).

Along the boulevard with high cypresses, there are memorial stones with the copies of relics and epigraphs written on the tombs of the first memorial monument.

On the top of the hill a fragment of a roman column from the excavations in Aquileia celebrates the Fallen soldiers of all the wars, “without making differences according to times and successes”.
