Although its height (2539 m) is not very significant, important activities took place on this peak during the First World War. In particular, the Italians barricaded themselves on this small peak, facing the Austro-Hungarian troops on top of the nearby Toblin Tower, on which they had even hoisted a mortar.At the southern foot of the peak, near the current Locatelli-Innerkofler hut, you can still see all the various tunnels dug by the Italian troops to be able to protect themselves from enemy fire.Source: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasso_di_Sesto
