    Organized by the anti-fascist self-defence organization "Arditi del Popolo", Parma was one of the very few Italian cities to successfully resist the "conquest" by the fascists in August 1922. For this purpose, barricades were erected throughout the city, but mostly in the Oltretorrente district, which were defended militarily against the advancing fascists.
    Translated by
    The monument to the Barricades of 1922 is made up of three essential laminated wood frames that support granite slabs engraved with texts and images relating to the narration of the days of August 1922 as in a sort of stone book. The pedagogical discourse of the stone book insists above all on the reading of the Barricades as a unitary and compact reaction of an entire community. The monument, inaugurated in 1997, was designed by the architect Luca Monica, who was assigned the task of renovating the entire area of Piazzale Rondani.
