The monument is a touching warning against all wars. It hosts the 699 bodies of Franz Joseph 'soldiers fallen on the mountains of the Adamello-Presanella massif.
In this extraordinary place of memory - of great architectural interest - a commemorative ceremony is held every year to commemorate the 699 soldiers of Francesco Giuseppe who fell during the First World War on the slopes of the Adamello-Presanella massif. The monumental cemetery in Bondo is a sort of “Spoon River” and preserves the memory of a whole generation wiped out by the war. It was built, starting in 1916, by the Austrian commander Theodor Spiegel, and is now considered, by extension, a monument to the fallen of every war and a warning against all wars. The fallen are grouped in irregularly shaped areas, with concrete stones: the corresponding names are shown on crosses painted in black.
