Remembrance Park

This is a green area that spans approximately one hectare, near the Sanctuary of San Francesco, on the hill of Gaggiola. It is a real forest of tall trees, which also includes a small lake. The park was named, on November 4, 1923, in memory of the Fallen for the Fatherland, hence the name Parco della Rimembranza (Park of Remembrance). Each of the 538 Spezzini who fell in the Great War was dedicated a tree (cypresses on the top, oaks, pines, lindens and larches on the slopes). The project was drawn up by the painter Felice Del Santo and carried out by the agronomist Alfredo Bartolozzi.
