The large sculpture – characterised by classical stylistic and iconographic references, in line with the celebration of “Romanity” that marked Fascist propaganda – represents one of the studies of the plastic decorations that Scapolla created in 1938 for the decoration of a shrine to Fascist martyrs and heroes, to be built in Pavia to commemorate the return of the volunteers who had participated in the Spanish Civil War. The work depicts a half-length figure of a soldier with his arms raised above his head.
