PROVINCIA PROVINCIA DI VENEZIA DI VICENZA Battlefi elds - Forts - Museums - Monuments - Memorials - Areas of interest This guide’s contents have been improved, and the guide itself has been reorganised. The idea is to provide visitors with the means to explore the area and uncover some of the signs of what was a major historic event worthy of study also by other means. The guide is an invitation to seek out the sites of the Great War in the Veneto region, and an invitation also to learn more about this period of transformation which so dramatically impacted the prospects of the area and of its peoples. Essential information is provided here of the main sites of interest, where testimony of the Great War in the Provinces of Belluno, Treviso, Venezia and Vicenza can be discovered, studied and preserved. The sites are grouped under three large Ecomuseums which are currently being started up so that the many local historic events which are a part of our shared national history can be narrated in a more satisfactory manner. The guide includes a general map and three section maps with the positions, indicated by various colours, of the sites dealt with in this publication.

As is the case for all cross-border projects, the activities have been agreed upon and developed in partnership with the Austrian associations “Tourismusverband Lienzer Dolomiten” (Lienz- Osttirol region), “Tourismusverband Hochpustertal” (Sillian) and “Verein zur Förderung des Stadtmarktes Lienz”, and with the Bolzano partner “Centro Culturale Grand Hotel Dobbiaco”. The project is an excellent opportunity to promote typical mountain produce, in particular cheeses, in order to create a close link with the promotion of the local area, culture and tourism. There is a clear connection between, one the one hand, the tourist, hotel and catering trades and on the other, the safeguarding and promotion of typical quality produce which, in particular in mountain areas, is one of the main channels of communication with the visitor, insofar as it is representative of the identity of the people who live and work in the mountains.

  • La Storia Del Cappello Alpino
    La storia del cappello alpino ‘Onestà e solidarietà, queste le nostre regole’ E’ il motto della ‘86esima Adunata Nazionale Alpini’, la festa di popolo’ che con entusiasmo, competenza e efficienza si sta avviando verso il traguardo piacentino dei giorni 10-11-12 maggio. Come annunciato anche il nostro Portale offre ampia visibilità alla manifestazione con aneddoti, curiosità e con immagini originali o restaurate da Oreste Grana e Camillo Murelli. Oggi parliamo del Cappello Alpino rielaborando testi tratti da ‘Centomila gavette di ghiaccio’ di G. Bedeschi e da altre fonti. IL NOSTRO CAPPELLO ALPINO L’elemento più rappresentativo degli alpini è senza ombra di dubbio il cappello. È formato da molti elementi che rappresentano il grado, il reggimento, il battaglione, e la specialità di appartenenza. Nel 1873 gli alpini per differenziarsi dal chepì usato dai fanti, adottarono un proprio cappello di feltro nero a forma tronco conica a falda larga; sulla fronte aveva come fregio una stella a cinque punte metallica bianca, con inciso il numero della compagnia. Sul lato sinistro, vi era una coccarda tricolore con, al centro un bottoncino bianco con croce scanalata. Un rosso gallone a V rovesciata decorava il cappello sullo stesso lato della coccarda e sotto questa era infilata una penna nera di corvo. Gli ufficiali portavano lo stesso cappello, ma la penna era d’aquila. Nel 1880 la stella a cinque punte venne sostituita da un fregio metallico bianco: un’aquila che sormontava una cornetta contenente il numero di battaglione. La cornetta si trovava sopra un trofeo di fucili incrociati con baionetta innestata, una piccozza e una scure circondati da una corona di foglie di alloro e quercia.

  • The First World War Military Tunnels of the Italian-Austrian Front
    The First World War Military Tunnels of the Italian-Austrian Front S. Pedemonte Military history enthusiast E.M. Pizzarotti Pro Iter, Milan, Italy ABSTRACT: During World War I, particularly in the years 1915-1917, all along the Austrian- Italian Front spreading from eastern Lombardy to the Gulf of Trieste, many intense tunnel works were on going for diverse military purposes. Some of these underground activities, many of which are nowadays well preserved and can be visited thanks to the constant effort in conservation and restoration by the local Authorities, are impressive if one thinks of the difficult environmental conditions in which they were built and the technical challenges of the operations. A remarkable literature exists on this subject from the historical and biographical point of view. This paper, instead, focuses on technical and technological aspects, on material resources, manpower, design and construction means and methods used to build tunnels that today seem extraordinary in relation to the period in which they were completed and to the difficulties encountered during the execution.
