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.

  • 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.

    Landscapes of Glory and Grief: Representations of the Italian Front and its Topography in the Art of Stephanie Hollenstein and Albin Egger-Lienz, and the Poetry of Gustav Heinse By Francesca Roe A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of MPhil in the Faculty of Arts, School of Modern Languages (German), August 2014. Supervised by Professor Robert Vilain and Doctor Steffan Davies Student Number: 1346104 25,000 Words 1. Historicist Idealism and Regional Identities: The Outbreak of War in Austria- Hungary In August 1914, the Berlin dramatist and critic Julius Bab and the Prague Germanist Adolf von Hauffen conducted independent analyses of German-language newspapers, magazines and pamphlets, and both concluded that an astonishing 50,000 pro-war poems were published daily in that month alone.1 Although it is difficult to state with certainty whether the researchers included Austro-Hungarian publications in their estimations (it would have been unusual for the conservative von Hauffen to have ignored the material published in his homeland), a brief survey of the poetry produced in the Dual Monarchy2 confirms that its German-speaking population experienced a ‘Kriegsbegeisterung’ just as profound as that of their German counterparts, a vociferous enthusiasm for war that affected individuals from all classes, generations and professions, and led to a remarkable outpouring of propagandist art and literature across the Habsburg Empire. 1 Klaus Zelewitz, ‘Deutschböhmische Dichter und der Erste Weltkrieg’, in Österreich und der Große Krieg 1914-1918.

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.

In detail, the World Heritage Committee having examined Documents WHC-07/31.

  • TO a STEP from CLOUDS Arabba Is a Jewel in the Dolomites, a Small an Peaceful Village in the Heart of the Dolomites
    ARABBA: TO A STEP FROM CLOUDS Arabba is a jewel in the Dolomites, a small an peaceful village in the heart of the Dolomites. Arabba or “Reba” in ladin, as it was called in the local Ladin language, is located in the heart of the Dolomites (1.600 m above sea level), and is surrounded by the magnificent Group of the Sella mountains (World Nature Heritage – UNESCO) at the foot of the Passo Pordoi and the Passo Campolongo. Arabba is part of the municipality of Livinallongo del Col di Lana, Fodom in Ladin (the traditional language) and Buchenstein in German, one of the municipalities which belongs to the 5 Ladin valleys. On the other side you can admire the queen of the Dolomites, the Marmolada Glacier, which with its 3.342 meters represents the highest point of the Dolomites. Moreover on the Marmolada Glacier we find the famous ski slope, long more than 12 km. Arabba is right at the centre of the famous Dolomiti Superski Ski Area, encircled by a breathtaking landscape. With 63 km of perfectly groomed slopes, Arabba boasts brand new lifts and is well linked to the other Ladin valleys around the Sella Group. In addition to this, Arabba is able to meet all your desires thanks to its first class skiing and tourist facilities. Arabba is the pearl of the Arabba – Marmolada Ski Area, and is well-known thanks to “Porta Vescovo” ski slopes, easily accessible from the Arabba town centre. From here, via the Passo Padon, it is very easy to reach the Queen of the Dolomites, the Marmolada.
