Victory Monument
About
Victory Monument is a controversial monument on the other bank of the Talfer river and was built by the Fascist Italy in 1928 as a nationalist symbol and for celebrate the Italian victory during WW1. On the front, written in Latin, is a sentence which affirms the Italic superiority over the Germanic people. During the 60s and 70s some South Tyrolean activists attempted to damage the monument but without effects. Now the Monument is under protection of the Italian State. There is a table on the way from the Talfer Bridge that explains how the City of Bozen feels about the monument. The Italian Ministry for Conservation of Ancient Monuments would not allow the city to post the tables on the grilles in front of the Monument.
