VIA VITTORIO VENETO, 26, Bolzano (Bolzano/Bozen)
The Bolzano "World War I Historical Society" has made it their job to
preserve the memory of the First World War as a deterring example
against war. With the motto "Lest We Forget, 1914-1918", several rooms
were consequently set up with exhibits and archeological finds from this
period that were collected with tremendous effort over many years. The
Museum Society has also restored the Austro-Hungarian positions along
the former front lines on the Trevisan plateau (Fedaia) and at the foot
of the Marmolada. In collaboration with the Austrian Schwarzes Kreuz
(Black Cross), the Society has in recent years discovered the remains of
six fallen soldiers and laid them to rest in the memorials at Pian
Salesei and Asiago.
