Island Of The Dead - Italy
Memorial 1917 - 1918 The "Isola Dei Morti" represents the main place in memory of the Italian assault infantry solders who managed to break through the Austrian lines along the Piave in October 1918. The place, whose name clearly refers to the vast number of corpses found here, is now also called Isola Verde (Green Island) due to the rich vegetation found there. After a fresh tree-lined avenue, the view opens out onto the main square called "Class of 99" where the main commemorative monuments are grouped. These include the Pyramid and the votive church "Madonnina Del Piave" in memory of the sacrifice of the servicemen who lost their lives on the Piave. Free entry.
