The Monte S. Giulia Park near to the centre of Monchio is dedicated to the Resistance. On the summit of the hill stands a small Romanesque church; its tower, destroyed by a German bombardment in 1944 has not been rebuilt, although the body of the church, also demolished, has been reconstructed. Trees typical of the zone have been planted all around it, and the park is dotted with benches, barbecues and huts where visitors can picnic. The symbolism of all this needs no explanation: an affirmation of life against the atrocities which took place here. A large open space at the entry to the park contains 14 sculptures arranged in a circle like large menhirs, creating a "sacred zone": this is the Santa Giulia Memorial (inaugurated in 1994). Here the Resistance is not commemorated in images, but recalled by using visual symbols to inspire thoughts of life, violence and peace.
