Monument to the Brothers Calvi, Bergamo

It commemorates the four brothers who served as Alpini or mountain infantry, who died during or shortly after the First World War.

The monument is a pentagonal plinth, made with marble Zandobbio with a flagpole with the Italian flag atop.

On the superior register of the plinth are four bronze nude youths symbolizing the four brothers: Natale (1887 – 1920), Attilio (1889 – 1916), Sante (1895 – 1917), and Giannino (1899 – 1919) who died after service to the nation.

[1] In 1921, a ceremony honoring them and their mother was attended by the King, Benito Mussolini, and Gabriele D'Annunzio.

The marble of this middle register has plaques engraved with depictions of battles in which the brothers were involved.
