Grottaglie Monument to the Fallen

This monument is in a park that is usually closed to the public, but on a random weekend about a month ago the main gate was open.

The statue up close, the engraving is for his children of the homeland.

 I also like the statues around the door of the main church in Grottaglie.

 I'm not sure what animal this is but he is doing his best to keep that pillar in the air.

This is the statue in the upper right of the door.
