Note: Monument is a granite sculpture of a little boy in a sailor suit seated in a one-armed chair and holding an open book. There are pillows behind him and he has his elbow on the arm of the chair. The sculpture is modeled on a photo of Francesco that appears on the stone. There is also a photo of Pietro but none of Vincenzo. This is a well-known and loved monument and there are often flowers left in Francesco's lap.
