HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
The tombstone in question is a typical example of the typology of war memorials, i.e. the simplicity of the composition and the few decorative elements. Very interesting from a historical-documentary point of view is the figure of Cesare Augusto Tonelli, mentioned in Enrico Benassi's text (see Bibliography) among the fallen soldiers of the R. University of Parma who fell in the war. Tonelli was born in 1896, began his medical studies in Pavia, then in 1915 he was called to arms and immediately served in the field hospitals and was appointed aspiring doctor in 1918; he died of illness in 1918 but was nevertheless awarded an honorary medical degree in 1919
