Completed in 1912, it represents the last type of fortress, a concept brutally swept away in the first months of the Great War. It had six cupolas with 149mm guns, never used and immediately dismantled to be taken to the battle front. On the attack front, it was covered by a large embankment, now removed, exposing the massive reinforced concrete structure. The entire wide, rectangular moat surrounding it has been filled in; the original sliding bridge with riveted iron girders remains. It was maintained and cared for until recently by the Military Property Office. It is located near the Ponte Damo roundabout, not far from the Riviera del Brenta. It is still formally owned by the Military Property Office, under concession to the Municipality of Mira. Currently, although in excellent condition, it cannot be visited. Outside, in the adjacent buffer area, there is a children's playground. https://www.magicoveneto.it/venezia/forti/Forte-Poerio.htm https://www.comune.mira.ve.it/vivere-il-comune/luoghi/parco-di-forte-poerio/

The house, surmounted by an elegant 15th-century Nanto stone coat of arms, was affected by fire in 1760, from 1794 to 1873 the rooms above the vault were reduced to a theater hall. On the facade of the building to the right of the Volto della Malvasia, a plaque with a bronze medallion was barbarically hung here in 1944 in memory of Flavio Busonera, member of the resistance. The palace is currently a private building and cannot be visited internally. Source: https://www.padovanet.it/informazione/palazzo-di-ezzelino
