The monument is a war memorial to commemorate the dead of the first world war.
It represent a winged victory with a torch in a hand. The winged victory is putted on a pedestal in which there is the following inscription "Correggio ai suoi Caduti" (“The Correggio town to own dead”). Behind the sculpture there is a plaque, with all the names of the fallen of Correggio in the first world war.

The sculpture was made by Leonardo Bistolfi, a very important Italian sculptor in the Liberty age.

The monument is placed just outside Cattini palace under the clock in Mazzini street. The monument is placed at the end of the arcades that skirt the street. The monument is therefore in a point where whichever person having a walk down town can see it.
