During the First World War, Cògolo Alto (2150m) was the position immediately behind the first line of Italian resistance on Pasubio: on its southern slope, sheltered from enemy fire, there was a small permanent village of 500 men, with numerous shelters and warehouses in brickwork and caves still clearly visible. The troops were ready to intervene promptly in the event of an Austrian attack on Dente Italiano, the most advanced point of the deployment: they reached Cima Palon along a walkway dug into the rock and covered, and from there they entered the Galleria Papa to reach Dente.
