The plaque commemorating the Italian victory in World War I is set on a wall in the main entrance of the Town Hall. The plaque is made of marble and has a rectangular shape. It bears the following inscription (here translated into English):

VICTORY BULLETIN SUPREME HIGHQUARTERS

IV November MCMXVIII

The war against Austria-Hungary, which the Italian army, albeit inferior in terms of number of men and of equipment, started on May 24th, 1915, under the high guide of His Majesty the King Supreme Leader, and carried on albeit most hard without interruption for 41 months, has been won. The gigantic battle engaged on October 24th, in which 51 Italian divisions, five English divisions, two French divisions, one Czechoslovakian division and one American regiment took part against 73 Austro-Hungarian divisions, is over.

The swift, most audacious advance of the 29th army-corp, of the 1st army towards Trento, closing the ways of retreat to the enemy armies in Trentino, crushed on the western side by the troops of the 7th army and on the eastern side by the troops of the 1st, 6th and 4th, has completetely destroyed the enemy battle front. From the Brenta to the Torre the irresistible rush of the 12th, 8th and 10th armies and of the cavalry divisions is pushing the escaping enemy back more and more. In the plain His Rojal Majesty the Duke of Aosta is rapidly advancing at the head of his undefeated 3rd army, yearning to return to the positions already victoriously conquered. The Austro-Hungarian army has been crushed. It has suffered very heavy losses in the course of the fierce resistance of the first days, and has lost, in the course of the pursuit, enormous quantities of equipment of any sort and almost entirely his storehouses and storages; so far it has left in our hands around 300.00 prisoners with entire highquarters and not less than 5.000 cannons. The remains of what once was one of the strongest armies in the world are now re-ascending disorderly and hopelessly the valleys they descended from with proud certainty.
