The Monumento ai Caduti in guerra e per la rivoluzione in Macerata was designed by architect Cesare Bazzani and completed in 1930. The monument commemorates those who died in war and revolution.
Bazzani was an influential Italian architect and engineer whose career spanned from 1911 until his death in 1939. Over these three decades, he undertook major civic and institutional commissions across several Italian cities, ranging from libraries and galleries to religious structures and municipal buildings.
