The Penelope guardian statue was created by Gianni Guerra (date of erection - 5 July 2004). She is found at the end of the pier at Porto di Levante, Senigallia’s harbor. Penelope was the wife of Odysseus in Homer‘s Odyssey. She represents the faithful wife that spends her days awaiting the return of her husband’s ship (for 20 years). By extension, the statue represents all women longing and waiting for their lover’s return.

Voluto dalla pietà e dal patriottismo delle popolazioni locali, il Sacrario-Ossario sorge sulla collina di Monte Oro, alle pendici della Selva di Castelfidardo, per onorare i caduti della Battaglia di Castelfidardo del 18 settembre 1860 per l'Unità d'Italia Risorgimentale. L’opera venne completata nel 1870, anno in cui le spoglie dei soldati piemontesi e quelle dei soldati pontifici provenienti da tutta Europa vennero tumulate in avelli separati.
