The wrought iron gate by Mirko Basaldella that symbolically closes the massacre cave. The artwork represents stylized human bodies intertwined with each other, symbol of the victims united in death. Beside it, the bronze commemorative plaque remembers the events of March 24, 1944 and the sacrifice of the 335 martyrs.
