Monuments in the nearby villages of Monchio, Susano and Costrignano recall the massacre of the local population by the Hermann Goering Division on 18 March 1944.

The park/monument at Monchio is dramatic and attractive at the same time, since an uninformed passer-by would simply see lovely conifers in a tranquil setting similar to that of many other parks, complete with playground and park benches. The park takes on a different character when one knows that each tree commemorates one of the people killed in the massacre that 18 March, and unfortunately there are no less than 136 of them. The monument itself in the centre of the park consists of a column covered with bronze panels modelled in bas-relief showing scenes from the events of that tragic day.
