Description: A sculpture commemorating more than 93,000 Canadians who fought in the Italian Campaign of World War II—an often overlooked but vital part of Europe’s fight for liberation from Nazi Germany—sited on grounds of Toronto City Hall. The battle referenced in the artwork occurred at Christmastime in 1943, when the Canadian Forces in the Italian Campaign of World War II fought a fierce battle to liberate Ortona, Italy from Nazi Germany. The sculpture depicts a ravaged Ortona flanked at each corner by four Canadian soldiers.
