    Tips

    Before the First World War, a checkpoint of the Royal Guardia di Finanza was established here. The soldiers should prevent smuggling with Austria. At that time, the Austrian border was only a few kilometers away. Shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, a small brick barracks were created.
    In connection with this, a defense system was built both in the barracks and on the surrounding peaks.
