The Monument to the Five Days of Milan (Italian: Monumento alle Cinque Giornate di Milano) is a monument comprising a bronze obelisk and sculptures on a plinth located in the center of Piazza Cinque Giornate in Milan, Italy. The monument was created by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Grandi and inaugurated in 1895 to commemorate the Five Days of Milan, a rebellion of 18–22 March 1848 which caused the Austrian army to withdraw from Milan. In this site, once rose the Porta Vittoria (formerly Porta Tosa), the eastern gate in the Medieval Spanish Walls of Milan, whose capture by the rebellion prompted the Austrians to abandon the city.
