    Tips

    June 1, 2025

    It was in this very place, on July 10, 1916, that Lieutenant Cesare Battisti and Second Lieutenant Fabio Filzi, irredentists from Trentino, were captured by Austro-Hungarian soldiers: the two, in an attempt to conquer the peak together with a handful of infantrymen, were taken prisoner and taken to Trento, where two days later they were summarily tried and hanged in the courtyard of the Buonconsiglio Castle, for high treason.

    The rocky promontory, known during the conflict as 'Corno di Vallarsa', was renamed 'Corno Battisti' after the war, in memory of the historical figure who still arouses divisive thoughts: contextualized in the historical period, on the Austro-Hungarian side he was a traitor, while on the Italian side he was a patriot (and glorified for this in the fascist era).
