War Memorial Peschiera Del Garda

In Peschiera del Garda (a city near the Garda Lake), along the road Riviera Carducci, there is a memorial, including artillery canon, in memory of all troops who have served in the artillery and were killed or removed during WW2.

At the monument there is a English 17 pounder cannon (also used on the Sherman Firefly: 76.2 mm)
The reason that this English gun is present on this location is probably because the fact that the Italians fought at the end of the war on the side of the Allies.
