The War Memorial of Asciano, dedicated to the memory of fellow citizens who fell during the First World War, is the result of a deep civic and collective commitment.

Immediately following the end of the conflict on November 4, 1918, the municipal council publicly expressed its intention to honor the fallen and celebrated the Italian victory with a patriotic manifesto addressed to the citizens.

In 1923, a local committee was established to start a fundraising campaign among the townspeople and sought the support of the municipality to create a commemorative monument. To support the initiative, charity fairs were organized, including one held on September 20, 1925, just before the inauguration.

The monument, designed by the sculptor Baglioni, was finally inaugurated on September 20, 1925, with a solemn public ceremony attended by local authorities and institutional representatives. In preparation for the event, the municipality arranged the stone podium, decorated the Town Hall, and provided public lighting for the Monument Square and the Park of Remembrance, which was created shortly afterward as a symbolic space of memory.

Located in a central position, the monument remains today a place of reflection and collective identity for the Asciano community, as well as a significant historical testimony to Italy in the post-World War I era.
