The Monument to the Carabinieri, also called Monumento alla Fiamma dei Carabinieri is a steel sculpture located in Piazza Armando Diaz, a central square in Milan, Italy. The monument was created by Italian sculptor Luciano Minguzzi (1911–2004) and is dedicated to the men and women of Carabinieri, the Italian gendarmerie. The flame which inspired the sculpture is a heraldic symbol prominently displayed on the caps of the corp, but it also artistically depicts a grenade, inscribed with the letters IR, and from which curving flames with 13 tips emerge. The flames marks the loyalty, fidelity, ardor and honor that define Carabinieri's service.
