Bologna, Italy: For the historians, the Bologna battle of 8 August 1948, when city people had defeated the Austrian army and pushed them out of the city, is insignificant. The victory had lasted for a short time and the Austrian troops called by the Pope to save his empire were soon back in the city and had remained there till 1859. But that battle was significant for the city people because on that day civilians had defeated an army. The "VIII August monument" made by Pasquale Rizzoli in 1903 shows a fallen Austrian soldier and a half naked Bologna youth holding a ragtag flag.

बोलोनिया, इटलीः इतिहासकारों की दृष्टि में बोलोनिया की 8 अगस्त 1848 की लड़ाई का विषेश महत्व नहीं था, जब शहर के लोगों ने आस्ट्रिया के सैनिकों को युद्ध में हरा कर शहर से निकाल दिया था. जीत कुछ दिनों की ही थी और पोप द्वारा अपने साम्राज्य को बचाने के लिए बुलाये आस्ट्रिया के सैनिक कुछ दिनों बाद वापस शहर में लौट आये थे और 1859 तक शहर में रहे थे. पर शहर के लोगों के लिए वह लड़ाई महत्वपूर्ण थी क्योंकि उसमें आम जनता ने एक फौज को हराया था. 1903 में पास्क्वाले रित्ज़ोली द्वारा बनाये इस "8 अगस्त स्मारक" में एक मृत आस्ट्रियाई सैनिक है और चिथड़ों वाला झँडा उठाये अधनंगा बोलोनिया शहर का युवक.

Bologna, Italia: Per gli storici, la battaglia dell'8 agosto 1848, quando la città aveva sconfitto gli soldati austriaci e gli aveva cacciati fuori dalla città, era insignificante. La vittoria era durata poco e le truppe austriache chiamate dal Papa per salvaguardare il suo impero erano tornato in città e vi erano rimaste fino al 1859. Tuttavia, quella battaglia aveva un significato particolare per la città perché quel giorno i "popolani" avevano sconfitto un'armata. Il "monumento VIII agosto" costruito da Pasquale Rizzoli ha un soldato austriaco caduto e un giovane bolognese mezzo nudo con una bandiera di fortuna nelle mani.
