The Monumento del Caduto per Servizio Istituzionale Le Mani stands in Como as a memorial to people who died during institutional service. It remembers people who served the state or public institutions. The title Le Mani means The Hands, giving the memorial a distinctive name for remembrance. These deaths occurred during institutional duties, rather than necessarily during wartime. The site connects with the Unione Nazionale Mutilati per Servizio, known as UNMS. UNMS represents people injured during military or civil service. In Italy, the organisation received recognition as a moral entity in June 1947, supporting injured people and families of those who died. Como’s local UNMS section emerged after the Second World War. People injured during service founded the section, which organised assemblies, congresses, and commemorative events. Le Mani became a significant milestone for the Como section. The monument was symbolically handed to the city, linking Como with remembrance of institutional sacrifice.

UNMS commemorations include a national day for fallen, disabled, and injured people in institutional service. Como has other memorials for war dead and public service. Le Mani focuses on people who died during everyday duties, highlighting the risks carried by institutional roles. Its history places the monument within Como’s broader tradition of public remembrance. The memorial gives the city a place to recognise service-related deaths beyond the battlefield.
