Enrico Toti irregular soldier, due to the lack of a leg, he fought right here and here he found his death in the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. Decorated with the M.O.V.M. by Vittorio Emanuele III, he became one of the heroes of the Great War in the process of mythologizing the fascist regime. Imposing is the monument that today stands in Villa Borghese in Rome

Fortified sinkhole a few hundred meters from the road. So called because the emblem of the Bersaglieri corps is still clearly visible on a wall of the sinkhole.

We are in the heart of the First World War Isonzo Front, where thousands of soldiers from both sides met their death... places that should make us reflect

We are in the heart of the Great War's front line. The stage for the infamous 12 battles of the Isonzo. Thousands of Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers died here. Many testimonies of fortified lines are still in excellent condition. Places that should make us reflect.

https://www.komoot.com/it-it/tour/1092082077 Here we are immersed in the Karst, and the feeling is one of great tranquility, even though we are just a few hundred meters from the village. At the historic site of the Dolina dei Bersaglieri, we are immediately catapulted back in time, having to cross and follow trenches that lead to the small basin of the famous First Aid Post of the Great War, now an open-air war museum. The route is very easy, on paved and dirt roads, with very little elevation gain and a high level of interest. It's a shame about the very tall grass...

One of the best preserved trenches of the Great War, originally Austrian, it passed into Italian hands during the first battles of the Isonzo, then became a second line trench for the rest of the war until the defeat of Caporetto when the Italians retreated to the Piave.
