The War Memorial is a sculptur in bronze and stone, built in 1933<ref name="mongolfiera">{{CitCite book|title= Brugherio: i suoi luoghi, la sua gente |language= Italian|pp= 72-73}}</ref> by Ernesto Bazzaro, which rises in Brugherio in Via Vittorio Veneto, in front of the Primary Schools "Federico Sciviero". It was wanted by the mayor, Ercole Balconi, to commemorate the soldiers who fell in the First World War brugheresi. It is characterized by a dramatic tension,<ref name="mongolfiera" /> determined by the dichotomy between the complex gesture of the two soldiers, at the base of the rock, and the Victory leaning against an eagle. In turn, the Victory is a figure leans towards the outside and therefore dynamic. The same tension is expressed finally in the group of two soldiers: in fact, while one is lying on the ground motionless and lifeless, the other stretches to the goddess who is about to throw a rose.
== Donor Blood Monument ==
