    Tips

    March 13, 2023

    During the Great War, Monte Giove was a crucial node due to its position between the Novegno and the Priaforà, between the Val d'Astico and the Vicenza plain: for this reason it was a continuous theater of artillery fire and battles, bitterly contested during the Strafexpedition of 1916.

    Following the spring offensive, with the retreat of the Austro-Hungarians, the Italian army fortified the entire area, to make Monte Giove an impregnable stronghold against future attacks: of particular note are the emplacement dug into the rock and the 'trench of M. Giove', is said to have been excavated by the Alpine troops in a single night, traces of which still remain along its entire length up to the foot of Priaforà.
