Monumento ai Caduti di Monte Sabbiuno

The Monumento au Caduti di Monte Sabbiuno (Mount Sabbiuno Monument to the Fallen) commemorates the execution of at least 53 Italian partisans by German forces, in two groups on December 14 and 23, 1944. The partisans were largely members of the Gruppi di Azione Patriottica (GAP) and the 63a Brigate Bolero from the communities of Anzola, Calderara di Reno, and Amola di Piano, north-east of Bologna; they were captured by anti-partisan forces in the Winter of 1944, and executed.

While 53 corpses were exhumed from a mass grave on Monte Sabbiuno (47 were identified), the total death toll is thought to be greater as some partisans from the group may have been executed elsewhere. The Monument to the Fallen was inaugurated on June 2, 1973.
