Hiking
A piece of the history of 1900 was made along our valleys dotted with these stakeouts. Today we simply enjoy the view. Once these lookout points decreed the life or death of many people

Monte Melino was one of the first battlefields between the Italian troops advancing along the Chiese Valley and the Austrian troops entrenched there.
On October 20, 1915, Monte Melino was captured by the Italian militia after a two-day siege.
The 77th and 78th Regiments of the Tuscan Brigade, nicknamed the "Tuscan Wolves" for their boldness, fought on its slopes.
With the capture of Monte Melino, the Italian army was able to control the initial Austrian lines at the Doss dei Morti and the entire valley floor below.
