It's located in front of the local cemetery, surrounded by soldier's graves.

It contains two very interesting artillery pieces, unfortunately they are both rusting away (together with an Italian Semovente da 75/18 from WW II):

75 mm mod. 1912. Italian Army first acquired 75 mm guns from Krupp (mod. 1906), then moved to Deport (mod. 1911). While the Deports were being build under license, a small amount of 75 mm guns from Krupp were acquired to be used by horse artillery (mod. 1912):

37 mm mod. 1915. At first you may believe this is an Austro-Hungarian Infanteriegeschütz M.15, but it's not, it's a copy build for the Italian Army.
