    Hiking

    An Italian cave observatory from the First World War, with a howitzers' emplacement next to it (protected from enemy fire): from here, the Arsiero basin was monitored and kept under fire. The entire ridge from Novegno to Summano is dotted with the remains of military buildings, given its strategic position controlling the Astico Valley, a feared access route for the Austro-Hungarian army to the Po Valley. It was built in April 1917 (as inscribed on the entrance), during the consolidation of the Novegno-Priaforà-Summano line of maximum resistance.
