This image depicts the Monument to the Fallen of August 8, 1848, located in Piazza dell'Otto Agosto in Bologna, Italy. The central subject is a large bronze monument. A dynamic bronze sculpture of a male figure stands atop a stone pedestal, holding a tattered flag or banner pole aloft with both hands. He is depicted over a chaotic base featuring fallen figures and debris, including what appears to be part of a cannon wheel. The multi-tiered grey stone pedestal beneath the sculpture features a relief carving of a recumbent lion on its visible side, facing left. Below the lion, the inscription "VIII AGOSTO MDCCCXLVIII" is carved into the stone. Numerous dark-feathered pigeons are perched on various levels of the pedestal and on the lion relief. The background consists of dense green trees, some showing reddish-brown foliage, suggesting a park-like environment. The sky above is overcast with patches of lighter cloud. A dark metal fence separates a strip of green grass from further trees behind the monument. In the foreground, wide, grey stone steps descend from the monument's base towards the viewer. Several individuals are present on these steps: * On the lowest visible step to the left, a person in a white top walks left, partially visible. * Further up on the left side, a person wearing a dark jacket and cap sits, looking at a smartphone. * In the center, two individuals walk down the steps: one in a light grey top and patterned pants, and another in a dark jacket with red and white accents, blue jeans, and carrying a dark bag. * To the right, a man with a beard, wearing a dark jacket over a striped shirt, walks down the steps. * On the upper steps to the far right, a person in a tan/brown jacket and dark pants sits, looking at a smartphone.
