Caduti brigate Bisalta, Beppe Lerda e Vian

In Liguria, la montagna e il mare hanno sempre costituito un paesaggio di resistenza. Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, questa regione ha visto formazioni partigiane operating throughout its valleys and hills, with the area's difficult terrain offering natural cover against the occupying forces. M

onuments to the fallen — those who gave their lives during the Resistance — are scattered across the Ligurian landscape, often placed in town squares, at key mountain passes, or near places where battles took place. They serve as silent witnesses to a history that shaped the identity of this region, and as meeting points where locals and visitors remember those who fought for freedom. The name of this monument evokes the memory of specific partisan brigades that operated in the Ligurian Apennines, each with its own history and sacrifice. Liguria's mountains hold thousands of such memories, and every monument is a door into that past. When you stand in front of one, you are not just looking at stone or bronze, but at the accumulated gratitude of a community that chose not to forget. Visiting these memorials is a way to understand the soul of Liguria, where every valley has a story and every street can hide a chapter of history.
