Following the neighborhood inhabitants’ will, the Monument to the Fallen of Isola was created by the Milanese artist Carlo Ramous in 1972 as a memorial for those who died in the fights against nazi-fascist regimes. The artwork was previously located in via Filippo Sassetti, but in 2009, it was moved to piazzale Segrino, upon a request submitted by citizens.
The structure is composed of two parts: a steel sculptural group and a base in concrete. The latter displays on a caved-in band the names of the partisans, and above, an inscription dedicated to the fallen: «Ai patrioti del vecchio quartiere dell’Isola caduti nella lotta di liberazione contro il fascismo 1943-1945» (i.e., «To the patriots of the old neighborhood of Isola fallen in the liberation fight against fascism 1943-1945»).
