For many Gorizia is remembered as the city of rubble due to the heavy consequences of the bombings of the Great War, as it was located in the heart of the karst front. Gorizia was also, however, one of the most Central European cities within the Austro-Hungarian Empire to which it belonged for about 4 centuries. In the ideal of the path of the memory of the First World War, the Redipuglia shrine remains an eloquent material sign and for some rhetorical, but certainly a place capable of always arousing emotion.
