Tips

Col Alt (866 m) is a modest but panoramic hill in the Treviso Pre-Alps overlooking the territory of Cordignano. On clear days the view sweeps from the Euganean Hills to the Venice lagoon and it is not uncommon to spot buzzards in flight. A war memorial in the shape of an obelisk with an eagle on the tip was erected on its top.

During the Liberation Struggle (1943-1945), Col Alt, due to its strategic position dominating the plain, became an important outpost of the partisan groups operating in Cansiglio. The task of garrisoning it belonged to the Luciano Manara battalion. On November 14, 1944, the battalion was attacked, by surprise, by about sixty Nazi-Fascists who had come up from Villa di Villa. In the clash, 7 men lost their lives. The monument was built immediately after the war by the partisans of the Hunters of the Alps Brigade, in memory of the 406 comrades of the Garibaldi Division Nino Nannetti who died in Cansiglio. In 1954 it suffered the insult from the neo-fascist hand that broke the eagle's wings, then being skilfully restored.
