The Campolongo Fort on the Asiago Plateau Seven Municipalities - Video by Christian Martello

We are happy to share this wonderful video shot by our friend Christian Martello,which shows the Campolongo Fort and the surrounding landscape in all their majesty, captured thanks to skillful and wonderful aerial shots made with drone. The video was shot on a clear day at the end of November 2020,characterized by beautiful colors, the autumn ones peculiar to this time of year, shaped by the residual whites of the first snow.

The Forte Campolongo is a military fortress,which rises in the territory of Rotzo,onthe Asiago Sette Comuni plateau,at 1,720 m above sea level on the top of the homonymous mountain and overlooking the Val D'Astico.

It was built between 1912 and 1914 to defend the Italian border against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Severely damaged in July 1915 by the Austro-Hungarian mortar Škoda of Costalta, it was almost completely destroyed by the blows of an enemy howitzer in May 1916. In the same meso it was finally occupied by the Austrians who held it firmly until the end of the First World War.

The fort has been recently restored thanks to the Great War Ecomuseum project of the Vicentine Prealps and is now a destination that is definitely worth a visit. In addition, the view that can be enjoyed from up here literally leaves you breathless, as you can well guess from the images of the video.

Theitinerary that leads to Forte Campolongo is undemanding and also suitable for those who are not particularly trained. You can find it HERE.
