"THE PLATEAU AT WAR : MONTE ORTIGARA-THE MADNESS OF THE WAR

A symbol of the cruelty of war on the plateau on Mount Ortigara, also known as the "Calvary degli Alpini", still bears the marks of that tragic battle. At a distance of ninety years, roads, walkways, sheds stands, galleries, trenches and stations allow us to read, as it was yesterday, the unfolding of the clashes: battalions and battalions of bersaglieri and alpini infantry burned in the cauldron of a strategic necessity that became a tactical nonsense.

Now only the murmur of the rain, the whistling of the wind or thunder storms remained of that cacophony of orders, screams, blasts, gunfire, tears and prayers that have shocked this small portion of the world, the last view from many men who have risen so far from Europe, never returned to their countries.

Their souls remain here that, as in the ancient legends, became thousands and thousands of beautiful flowers.
