The Monumento Ossario ai Caduti garibaldini serves as a repository for the remains of the Garibaldini. The monument was designed by the engineer Carmelo Destino, who handled the architectural part of the project.
Sculptor Enrico Mossuti created the bronze statue depicting the winged victory and the stone high-reliefs with the portrait of the protagonists of the Garibaldi epic. The physical construction of the memorial was carried out by Giuseppe Cozzolino.
The monument is located in the comune of Valle di Maddaloni, a municipality in the Province of Caserta. The area is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Caroline Aqueduct, built by Luigi Vanvitelli to carry water from Monte Taburno to the Caserta Palace.
