Carlo Mazzoli, Pierluigi Viola, Carlo Locatelli and the First World War

🪖 THE FIRST WORLD WAR ON THE ORTLES-CEVEDALE FRONT
Cultural evening

“Carlo Mazzoli, Pierluigi Viola, Carlo Locatelli and the Great War”

An event dedicated to the memory of the First World War in the mountains of Stelvio National Park, where between 1915 and 1918 the Ortles-Cevedale front was the scene of the so-called White War: extreme high-altitude fighting between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In this harsh and majestic setting, Val Zebrù becomes both a symbolic and real place of extraordinary human stories. Here, the stories of three different figures, united by their passion for the mountains, intertwine: a commander, a lawyer and a mountaineer.
Carlo Mazzoli, Pierluigi Viola and Carlo Locatelli are the protagonists of a story that gives a human face to history, amid sacrifice, ideals and life at high altitude.
The account, by Gian Celso Agazzi, will guide us through episodes, testimonies and anecdotes linked to their presence in Val Zebrù and to life at Capanna Milano (now Rifugio Quinto Alpini).

An opportunity to rediscover the history of the White War through the stories of men who experienced the mountains not only as a front, but as home.
