There is a small war memorial in Marsala that includes a Semovente M41 self-propelled gun. It is located in the Piazza Guglielmo Marconi (source: J. Tetard). It appears in Bing Maps to be in the southern corner of the piazza, under the trees, at the intersection of Via Sardegna and Largo Tonino Sansone (at the end of Corso Antonio Gramsci).

The main gun of this M41 is fake (source: M. Foti). The vehicle is mounted on a stone ramp as a monument. It was donated by the National Association of Italian Tank Crew (source: Wikipedia). In front of it there is a plaque that reads as follows:
