The bunker was built between July and September 1944 as a temporary deposit of dried gold mud from the mines of Macugnaga and then sent to Milan to the Italian metal ores company, where it would be transformed into ingots to be sent to Germany. Due to the bombing of the Lombard capital, it was decided to send the material directly to Switzerland, passing through Mendrisio. For the transport the railway route was decided, to avoid the entry of German trucks into neutral Switzerland, via the Valmorea railway that connected the Swiss city with Castellanza, a municipality bordering Marnate.
