The park, located in an urban setting past the train station and just before the start of Pracchia’s town centre, occupies a green area between Via Nazionale and Via Forravilla. The first installation was created by the local Pro Loco in 1933, when this garden was established with several memorial stones honouring those who fell in the First World War. At a later date, some stone steles bearing the names of those who died in the First and Second World Wars were placed near a small hill along the railway. 

Two steles were dedicated to Augusto Paccagnini and Lodovico Venturi. Both were officially recognised after the war as partisans of the Brigata Bozzi. The partisan unit’s report reads: “On the road to Pracchia, Mulino del Pallone, a motorcycle and an armoured car were attacked; two Germans were captured and senior officers killed. The partisan Lodovico Venturi dies.” Venturi, also known as ‘Molotov’, was captured, tortured, and then killed on 12 September 1944 in front of the body of the German General Walter Crisolli, whom he had killed shortly before. Paccagnini was captured and killed by the German forces on 16 September, together with his fellow Brigata Bozzi partisans Alberto Giannini and Oscar Santini. 

In 2008, a major redevelopment of the park included the installation of a monument created by the artist, painter, and sculptor Germano Pacelli. Pacelli was born in Maresca, a hamlet of San Marcello Piteglio in the Pistoian mountains, on 9 November 1924. He was a partisan in the Brigata Bozzi, also known as ‘Staffa’, and died in January 2024. 

The monument, entitled ‘To the Civilians and Military Who Fell for Freedom in All Wars’ was inaugurated on 1 June 2008. It features several allegorical figures in various positions, representing the suffering caused by war. A plaque commemorates the 21 citizens of Pracchia who died in the First and Second World Wars, including 15 soldiers, 3 partisans (Augusto Paccagnini, Lodovico Venturi, and Alberto Giannini), and 3 civilians (Franca Venturi, 3 years old; Gabriella Venturi, 4 years old; Fernanda Buscioni, 21 years old).

A small chapel containing a 1920 plaque listing the names of the local soldiers who fell in the First World War completes the park.
