The Infantry Museum is located in Biasca. It was opened in 1999 thanks to the efforts of the "Gruppo Escursionisti Liberi". The museum aims to preserve the LONA fortification and to display the infantry's facilities and defense equipment of the time.
The name LONA comes from LOdrino and OsogNA and is linked to the dam north of Bellinzona, which was built at the beginning of the First World War and was intended to reinforce the fortified line through Ticino from the Gesero to the Centovalli. The LONA was intended to protect Biasca as the key to access to the Leventina and the Blenio Valley. The museum displays the weapons that were available (cannons, mortars, machine guns, flamethrowers, ), but also objects from the everyday life of the soldiers who served in the LONA.
