Monument to the Queen Elena of Montenegro, opened in 1960 in memory of her welfare work carried out in favor of the city during the earthquake, was graven in Florence by Antonio Berti. Stands on a marble pedestal with bronze bas-reliefs attesting her work: she is pictured while supporting the head of a wounded next to a nun, a nurse and a medical officer; the act of stroking some injured children; while holding a baby in her arms pulled from the rubble.
