Excursion in the great war with the Asiago Plateau Guides-"Monte Ortigara-Calvary degli Alpini"
Symbol of the cruelty of the war on the Monte Ortigara, also known as the "Calvary degli Alpini", still bears the marks of that tragic battle. At A distance of ninety roads, trenches, footings, tunnels, barracks and trenches locations allow us to read, as if it were yesterday, the clashes: Alpine battalions and battalions of bersaglieri infantrymen, and burned in the cauldron of a strategic necessity that became a tactical nonsense.
Now only the murmur of the rain, the sound of the wind or some temporal Thunder remained of that cacophony of orders, screams, cries, fire outbreaks, and invocations that have shocked this small portion of the world, the last seen by countless men, up to date from half of Europe, are no longer returned to their countries.
Remain here their souls which, as in the ancient legends, became thousands and thousands of beautiful flowers.
