There is a large war memorial in Arpaise that includes an M36 tank destroyer. The memorial is on a roundabout on Viale Monumento Municipio and includes two stone columns supporting a large metal frame in the shape of the letter “A”, and a ring of flagpoles.
On one of the columns is a plaque containing soldiers’ names and the following text:

A LA MEMORIA DEI GIOVANI VALOROSI DI ARPAISE CHE COMBATTERONO E MORIRONO PER LA PATRIA E PER IL DIRITTOTO THE MEMORY OF THE YOUNG COURAGEOUS OF ARPAISE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR THE COUNTRY AND FOR JUSTICE

One the other column is a plaque containing more soldiers’ names and the following text:

Other Identification: “E8543 3B3688 A BU” cast into transmission cover.

This M36 is mounted on a stone ramp in the centre of the memorial. It is in a poor condition. It has no cover over the open turret so it is exposed to the elements; it shows signs of rust in the turret and on the hull, roadwheels and other parts.
From a view into the turret it appears that the gun has no breech block; it is therefore probably a fake.
