The second, facing the countryside to the south, depicts the town’s agro-pastoral life: the shepherd with tools for ricotta and cheese, the farmer with his mule and tools for cultivating the land, and a woman with a bundle (truscia) on her head.
The third, facing the Mother Church to the east, summarizes local traditions: religious ones such as the procession of the Holy Urn, lay-religious ones such as Holy Week with the Scinnenza on Good Friday and the ‘Ncuentru on Easter Sunday, represented with banners. It also shows the “vampa” bonfire of the Immaculate Conception and culinary traditions such as the cuddrireddra and muffuletta.
The fourth, facing north, represents the 20th century: the two World Wars with bombs, helmet, bayonet, and tank, and emigration with farewells, the railway, and the cardboard suitcase. There are also references to urban development, education, and agricultural progress, with tractors, grape, and peach cultivation.
The obelisk culminates in a tapering cruciform shape of white travertine, soaring skyward.
