Monument to Peace and Freedom
A symbol of freedom, tolerance, and solidarity, dedicated to the partisans who fell for the Liberation.
Timetable
The monument is accessible at all times
In Scandiano’s Parco della Resistenza, behind the town cinema, stands one of the most significant monuments dedicated to historical memory: the Monument to Peace and Freedom, conceived by the celebrated Italian designer Bruno Munari.
Entitled “Insiemediversi è meglio”, the monument is a powerful symbol of the founding values of a democratic society: freedom, tolerance, solidarity and democracy.
These ideals, renewed through the contribution of partisans during the Liberation fight, find a modern and poetic expression in Munari's work.
The artwork consists of anemometers rotating in different directions, symbolising the diversity of individuals, however united by a common element: a metal stele.
Despite their different movements, they all follow the same course, as shown by the rudder-shaped arrow balanced on top of the shaft.
This arrow symbolically guides them towards a path of unity and memory.
At its base, a circular podium features the faces of the fallen partisans from Scandiano, immortalising their sacrifice and ideally connecting today's society to the history of Resistance.
The monument is not merely a memorial to the past, but also an invitation to reflect on the values of living together, respect for diversity and civic engagement.
