Monument to the Resistence
The Monument to the Resistance commemorates the 64 victims, partisans from Salsomaggiore, who died during the 2nd World War. The work, created by Parisian-born sculptor Louis Molinari, whose parents were originally from Piacenza, was unveiled in 2004. It depicts the four elements of life: Earth, represented by the circle that forms the base; doves
to symbolise Air; Water, represented by the fountain in the middle and Fire, represented by the light. Three characteristic white doves, symbolising peace, reach towards the sky.
