Description

Sculpture representing the last moments of life of a group of victims of Nazi-fascism. The iconography is that of martyrdom: the vibrations of the light planes and the reverberation of the bronzes follow the vertical tension of the rods that sustain the weight of the bodies of civilian victims and evoke feelings of heroism and suffering.

Inscription(s)
