Description
In the little more than sixty years that preceded the spark of the Sarajevo attack, the Austro-Hungarian Empire built almost a hundred forts on Trentino territory, representing a good fifth of the entire fortification heritage present in defence of the borders of the immense Empire, from southern Dalmatia to Galicia.
The great cultural effort promoted over the last decade by the Superintendency, known by all as the "Great War Project", has allowed the physical and social recovery of a considerable number of forts in Trentino
In the book "Il recupero dei forti austrungarici trentini" (The recovery of Trentino Austro-Hungarian forts), in 255 pages full of information and essays, the historical and architectural events of the war machines of the First World War are retraced: from Fort Cadine, whose restoration work has been concluded with the recomposition of the fortified shape of the road cut, to Fort Colle delle Benne, located on a natural terrace overlooking Lake Levico; from Fort Pozzacchio, never completed, to Fort Dossaccio, in the Paneveggio Park; from Fort Corno, stretching along the morphology of the terrain, to the Roncogno battery located at the Cimirlo pass at the beginning of the popular Mount Celva visit route; from Fort Tenna, which never took part in wartime actions, to forts Presanella, Tonale and Mero, which barred the Tonale pass; and finally to the Brione fortress, in the centre of the Sarca plain, a complex system overlooking Lake Garda.
