On 4 November, and the days shortly before, most important charges of the Republic pay homage to the Italian Unknown Soldier ("Milite Ignoto"), buried in the Altare della Patria in Rome, visit the Redipuglia War Memorial, where there are the bodies of 100,000 Italian soldiers who died in the First World War, as well as Vittorio Veneto, where there occurred the last and decisive battle between the Royal Italian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army.
