EXCURSION DEVELOPMENT:
Last days of that hell, the 25th of June! There are only a few minutes left. From the altitude of 2105 an Italian machine gun begins fire. And here it is precisely at that moment that the terrifying bombing begins that must precede the decisive attack.
The fate of hundreds of men is in the hands of God and modern firearms. Operation Wildbach is starting!!!! The Austro-Hungarians go to the assault of the disputed top of ortigara, taken by our Alpini, with very serious losses and suffering, only a few days before. Of Mount Ortigara and the whole adjacent area there is no need to say much more, you have to go there, follow it as if on pilgrimage, observe the battlefield with conscious eyes and breathe its silences, today precious if you know the history of these mountains.
