On a stepped plinth in pink marble rests a base bearing the names of the fallen on the façades; on the top the bronze figure of the warrior homeland holding the shield, with the municipal emblem, raising the gladius. An Art Nouveau bronze relief depicts, on the base, the winged victory touching the fallen soldier with a kiss. The monument was enclosed by an iron gate; inside there were war remnants from the Second World War. But in fact the monument to the Casuti was not always present in Piazza Luigi Sodo. Initially it was present in the current Piazza San Martino with a different statue commemorating the war dead of the first conflict.In 1943, the retreating Germans isolated the town by blowing up the three bridges facing Guardia Sanframondi, Telese Terme and Cusano Mutri. At the same time, the population was invited to donate metals and ferrous materials to melt them and build weapons of war. The Municipality therefore decided to also donate the ancient monument to the fallen of the Great War, documented to Edgardo Simone, which depicted an infantryman. Of the current intervention, the bronze relief placed on the façade of the base dates back to Simone, similar to that created by the artist for the monument to the fallen of San Marzano sul Sarno (SA).

A renewable solution could be applied within our Luigi Sodo square, they are solar trees. They are not a new invention but, like all other solutions that exploit renewable energy sources, they should really be taken into consideration, especially in this historical moment. A solar tree is a device that resembles a tree in shape, but with photovoltaic panels instead of its crown. The “leaves” of the tree capture solar energy and convert it into electricity, with branches channeling it through a trunk and into a central battery inside. The operating mechanism and therefore the environmental and economic benefits of solar trees are those of common panels: they feed clean energy into the grid by converting the photons that come from the sun into electricity. But furthermore, trees use only a fraction of the surface area needed for a series of panels, because they grow upwards. Therefore in terms of land consumption they are better on a large scale,  as a city solution.But for now that we have real trees that still have their very useful function.
