Initiated in 1936, the project was entrusted to Giannino Castiglioni, already at work building the Redipuglia, Oslavia, and Kobarid War Memorials. It was officially inaugurated in May 1939. The structure draws on the previous church surrounded on three sides by a single, grandiose portico where there are the remains of 1763 war dead (298 unknown Italians and 65 Austrian-Hungarians) coming from mountain cemeteries and the military cemetery in Timau.
