Geocache Description:


This cache will bring you to the commemorative monument for the fallen Italian aviators in Kindu (ex Belgian Congo)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindu_atrocity:

The Kindu massacre, or Kindu atrocity, took place on 11 or 12 November 1961 in Kindu Port-Émpain, in the Congo-Léopoldville(the former Belgian Congo), where thirteen Italian airmen, members of the United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC), sent to pacify the country ravaged by civil war, were murdered. The Italian aviators manned two C-119s, twin-engined transport aircraft known as Flying Boxcars, of the 46ª Aerobrigata based at Pisa Airfield.

 

This monument is not the only one in Italy commemorating the fallen of Kindu, but here weere buried 12 of the 13 soldiers. This monument was designed by the famous architect Giovanni Michelucci.
