Dronero War Victims Memorial

In Piazza Allemandi there are two large marble memorial plaques with side columns.

On the plaque on the right:
"Dronero
To his sons who fell heroically on the battlefields for the Fatherland in the bright vision that their blood forever marks the end of every bloody struggle of every social injustice
May 24, 1915 - November 4, 1918
Below that is the list with the names of those who died with military service.
On either side of this plaque there are two bronze squares with, in relief, figures of soldiers in battle.

The plaque on the left:
"Dronero
In memory of his sons who were killed and missing in the Second World War 1940-1943 in the hope that their sacrifice will bear fruit for the peace and serene future of the homeland."
This includes 115 names with the rank and class of conscripts, 14 names with the year of birth of Partisans and 46 names with the year of birth of civilian victims.

On the top of the tombstones in the center is the five-pointed star, which means belonging to the Italian Armed Forces.
Under the two gravestones it says in Latin: "They will be in the eternal memory of the country for which they die."
The names of the decorated persons are engraved in the center of the stone with the votive lamp.
