Inaugurated in October 1972, the Bosco delle Penne Mozze is a memorial, surrounded by nature, born from the idea of Professor Mario Altarui. The dream of remembering with a plant and a stele all the Alpine soldiers born in the province of Treviso and fallen in the war has turned into reality thanks to the enthusiasm and determination of the Cison Alpine Group. Over an area covering more than 16,000 square meters, plants were planted, paths traced and over 2000 steles created in memory of the fallen by the master Simon Benetton. At the start of the route, the badges of the six Alpine Divisions stand in the entrance square; to the right of the three severed feathers, symbol of the memorial, there are the feet of the Alpine monument of Brunico blown up by dynamite by the South Tyrolean secessionists. Since 2001, on a monumental stele that symbolically depicts a tree, the Wood has begun to host the plaques of other Alpine sections of Italy, so as to become a place of memory not only of the Alpine Trevigiani, but of the whole country. Almost forty years after its birth, even today, the Bosco delle Penne Mozze is enriched with new elements thanks to the strong sense of belonging and the firm will to pay the right homage to those who gave their lives for the country.

As a memorial to the endless number of dead, such memorials or war memorials - like this impressive "Bosco delle Penne Mozze" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny.
Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, anew for each generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace
