Abstract
Quiero proponer en este artículo una reflexión sobre cómo por la traslación a un bello paraje de nuestros montes cantábricos, de un sacrario de origen itálico ¿según G. P. Piretto, podría definirse sacrario como un mausoleo devenido en santuario¿, el lugar se acaba convirtiendo en un ámbito de tipo ceremonial. Se trata de ponderar paisajísticamente los restos arqueológicos del cementerio que las tropas mussolinianas levantaron entre 1938 y 1939, para inhumar los restos de más de 300 soldados caídos en la sangrienta batalla del Escudo. En este ensayo se observa que, paisajísticamente, confluyen en la ubicación del santuario variados aspectos naturales y artificiales, históricos y religiosos, así como también, para el alma cultivada, se produce una sensación de frustración melancólica al contemplar el vandalismo que el monumento sufre en la actualidad.
I want to propose in this article a reflection on how by the translation to a beautiful place of our Cantabrian mountains, of a sacrario of italic origin -according to G.P. Piretto, it could be defined sacrario as a mausoleum turned into a sanctuary-, the place ends up becoming a scope of ceremonial type. It is scenically weigh the archaeological remains of the cemetery that mussolinianas troops erected between 1938 and 1939, to bury the remains of more than 300 soldiers killed in the bloody Battle of the Escudo. In this essay it is observed that, in landscape, various natural and artificial, historical and religious aspects converge in the location of the sanctuary, as well as, for the cultivated soul, a feeling of melancholy frustration occurs when contemplating the vandalism that the monument suffers in the news.
