Set the scene.
This monument commemorates the victims of the Sette Giugno riots. Parliament marks the anniversary with a speech and wreath-laying at its base.
Here’s the twist.
When works began in Palace Square in 2009, the monument was moved to Hastings Gardens. It returned to its original location in 2016.
Why it still matters.
Ask how moving a memorial changes the way people encounter it. The event remembered stays the same, while the setting and routes around the monument can change.
