    This cylindrical tower was built in 1853 and performed a dual function: it served as a defense against the Austrians and was a work place for the refugees who were under the command of Marshal Radetzky of Lombardy.

        The "Fortini della Fame" – Hunger Fortresses or Hunger Towers – are historical monuments closely linked to the turbulent history of the 19th century. These cylindrical structures are the remaining remnants of a fortification system consisting of 36 towers. Five towers still stand today above Camorino.
        This is Tower No. 3: "Ala Pélera"
