Sacrario della Prima Guerra Mondiale

All the valleys

First World War

Sacrario della Prima Guerra Mondiale

At the Passo del Tonale, in Trentino territory, the ossuary shrine that holds 847 Italian soldiers who fell in the Great War.

It began as a monument to Victory: the foundation stone was laid on 3 September 1922 and the inauguration took place on 31 August 1924. From 1933 it was turned into a shrine to a design by Pietro Del Fabbro, and it was completed in 1936. In the square-plan crypt lie 847 Italian soldiers, 50 of them unknown, brought here from the war cemeteries of Case di Viso, Ponte di Legno, Pezzo, Stadolina, Temù and the Val d'Avio. Behind the altar there is a marble statue of the risen Christ, and on the terrace the winged Victory in bronze by Timo Bortolotti, a copy of the Roman one in Brescia. It stands in Trentino territory, but since 1983 it has been entrusted to the Comune di Ponte di Legno.

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
