Former Italian military cemetery of the Great War, built by the Liguria Brigade in July 1916, during the height of the conflict, close to the front (Italian Dente vs. Austrian Dente). Also known as the "Di qui non si passa" ('You Cannot Pass Here') Cemetery.

The cemetery, laid out on terraces and enclosed by a low dry-stone wall, held the remains of 164 soldiers, with identical headstones bearing the name of the fallen soldier, his unit, and the date of death; in many cases of unknown soldiers, the words "Fallen for the Fatherland" were simply inscribed. At the top of the hill, a small pyramidal stone marker was erected, to which a large-caliber artillery shell was attached; at its foot, a gallery-like ossuary was built to store the remains (now empty). The marker was replaced in 1935 by the majestic Roman Arch, on the occasion of the solemn proclamation of the summit of Pasubio as a "Sacred Zone." In 1926, the Vicenza War Incapacitated soldiers erected an iron sign reading 'THIS WAY DOES NOT PASS', which became the motto of the Liguria Brigade after the bloody but victorious battle of Monte Zovetto on the Asiago Plateau in June 1916. In 1928, the remains of the fallen were exhumed and transported to the Pasubio Ossuary, where they rest alongside those of over 5,000 other combatants.

The majestic Roman Arch of Pasubio, erected with local stone, 7 meters high, was built inside the perimeter wall of the war cemetery 'Di qui non si passa', built during the conflict by the Liguria Brigade, which fought here. It took the place of the small pyramidal monument built by the same soldiers above the ossuary gallery, intended to collect the human remains found on the battlefield (now the gallery is empty).

It was solemnly inaugurated on August 15, 1935 - note the fasces on the side, evidence of the fascist era, which fortunately have not been removed by a ridiculous historical revisionism - in the presence of authorities and numerous former combatants, including Marshal Guglielmo Pecori Giraldi, commander of the First Army during the war, deployed on this very front: a celebration that sanctioned the summit of Pasubio 'Sacred Zone to the Fatherland'.
