Isola del Cantone (GE), Italy *La traduzione in italiano dell'articolo è disponibile su www.societaitalianagallerie.it nella sezione del sito dedicata alla rivista **corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract During World War I, particularly in the years 1915-1917, all along the Italian front, spreading from the Aosta Valley to the Gulf of Trieste, intense tunnel excavation works were carried out for diverse military purposes. Some of these underground works, many of which are still well preserved and can be visited thanks to the constant effort in conservation and restoration done by local Authorities, are impressive considering the difficult environmental conditions and the technical challenges that had to be faced for their realization. A remarkable literature exists on this subject both 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 which nowadays seem to be extraordinary in relation to the period in which they were completed and to the difficulties encountered during the execution. Sommario Durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, particolarmente negli anni 1915-1917, lungo tutto il fronte italiano che si estendeva dalla Valle d’Aosta al Golfo di Trieste, furono portate a compimento intense attività di scavo di gallerie per diversi scopi militari. Alcune di queste opere sotterranee, molte delle quali ancora oggi ben conservate e visitabili grazie al costante sforzo di mantenimento e restauro delle Autorità locali, sorprendono in considerazione delle difficoltà ambientali e delle le sfide tecnologiche che hanno dovuto essere fronteggiate per la loro realizzazione. Sussiste una vasta letteratura che tratta questo argomento soprattutto sotto i punti di vista storico e biografico. Questo lavoro vuole invece focalizzarsi sugli aspetti tecnici e tecnologici, sulle risorse umane e materiali e sui metodi di progetto e di costruzione utilizzati per lo scavo di gallerie che, oggi, appaiono straordinarie in relazione al periodo storico e alle difficoltà incontrate nel corso degli scavi. Keywords: war, military, tunnel, mine, explosive. Parole chiave: guerra, militare, galleria, mina, esplosivo. 1.

A total of 155 potential roost sites were checked: natural or artificial underground sites (11%), bridges and boat basins (25%), churches (36%), cemeteries (12%) and other buildings (16%). Underground sites were visited both in summer and winter, the other sites only in summer. Mist-netting was performed in wetlands at sites located in the southern, central and northern parts of the lake area. Additional data were obtained by acoustic surveys and from the finding of dead or injured bats. We recorded at least 18 species and 79 roosts. Pipistrellus kuhlii and P. pipistrellus were the species most frequently observed roosting in buildings; Myotis daubentonii was the commonest species in bridges and boat basins. Such species were also the most frequently caught in mist-netting sessions. Three winter roosts (each used by 1-10 bats) and a nursery site used by species of major conservation concern (Habitats Directive, Annex II) were found. Annual counts of the maternity colony varied from 694 to 919 bats aged > 1 year, mainly M.

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.

  • Subterranean Warfare: a New-Old Challenge
    Subterranean Warfare: A New-Old Challenge Yiftah S. Shapir and Gal Perel Subterranean warfare is not new in human history. Tunnels, which have been dug in all periods for various purposes, have usually been the weapon of the weak against the strong and used for concealment. The time required to dig tunnels means that they can be an important tool for local residents against an enemy army unfamiliar with the terrain. Tunnels used for concealment purposes (defensive tunnels) can be distinguished from tunnels used as a route for moving from one place to another. The latter include smuggling tunnels used to smuggle goods past borders (as in the Gaza Strip), escape routes from prisons or detention camps, offensive tunnels to move forces behind enemy lines, and booby-trapped tunnels planted with explosives !"#$%#!#&'%()*+,+-+#.%/)%-)*-+*% .#"%0'%1)&).23 Operation Protective Edge sharpened awareness of the strategic threat posed by subterranean warfare.

Cur- rent scholarship on “post-heroism” has viewed the technological and professional standards of contemporary military conflicts as distancing the individual combatant from the modern battlefield. Little attention has been given however to the ways in which soldiers themselves experience and adapt to post-heroic conditions. Findings based on in-depth semistructured interviews with 17 IDF tunnel combatants show these soldiers actively reinterpreting the strategic importance placed on distancing the warrior from the battlefield. This exploratory article suggests that an individual “warrior ethos” still resonates amid the professional and technological contours of post-heroic (underground) conflicts. By presenting a novel account of contemporary tunnel warfare from the perspective of the combatants themselves, this research sheds new light on the different personal dimensions that impact post-heroic military operations. 1 Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ariel University, Israel 2 Clinical Branch, Department of Mental Health, Medical Corps, Israel Defense Force, Israel 3 Mental Fitness Branch, Department of Mental Health, Medical Corps, Israel Defense Forces, Israel Corresponding Author: Nehemia Stern, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Ariel University, Ariel 40700, Israel.

  • 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. A = Tunnel adit, B = Ladder to tunnel adit, C = Castelletto Tunnel, D = Austrian Embra-sures, E = Tofana di Rozes, F = Castelletto, G = Ridge destroyed by Italian Mine.
