Monument ''Ai Caduti del Mare'', Catania

Monument ''Ai Caduti del Mare'' was built after a long period of preparatory work that lasted for years. The monument faces the sea and commemorates the victims of the civilian and military navy and is dedicated to all those who lost their lives at sea. The whole monument represents a large bronze book. On its left side, there is a sinking ship and on its right, a sculpture of a praying sailor. The citizens of Catania longed for such a monument to be installed in their city for a long time.
