The memorial has been erected in memory of approximately one hundred Yugoslav military prisoners of war, internees, and political prisoners who were deported from Yugoslavia in various ways during the people's liberation war. Most of them died because of harsh living conditions in concentration camps and prisons across the whole of Lazio, especially on the islands of Ponza, Pianosa, and Elba. The remains of 25 Yugoslav fighters are kept in the memorial's crypt, while most of the others rest in a collective ossuary. The memorial was built by the SFRY. Authors: sculptor Ljubomir Denković and Savo Subotin. The memorial was officially unveiled on September 22, 1978.

At the memorial site, on June 27, 2012, the embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Rome and the Association of Fighters placed a memorial plaque for the fighters who were killed in the battle of Nano on April 18, 1941.

The stone tablet was produced and installed by the civilian initiative Za Primorsko, represented by Božo Novak, who was one of the speakers at the shorter ceremony at the cemetery. At that event, Slovenian ambassador Iztok Mirošič and Francesco Polcaro, speaking on behalf of the Italian Partisan Association VZPI-ANPI, also gave speeches. From Slovenia, Miha Pogačar from the association of the 30th Division of the 9th Partisan Corps also traveled to Rome. The embassy of the Republic of Slovenia provided the necessary permission and arranged the procedure for the placement of the memorial, while the cost of producing the memorial plaque was covered by the Slovenian Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs. The memorial plaque is located at the Flaminio cemetery, although the fighters are buried at the Verano cemetery.
