The Great War – guided tour
The guided tour of the Great War is a historical and commemorative itinerary that leads to the symbolic sites of the First World War in Veneto, territories profoundly marked by the events of war between 1915 and 1918.
After the defeat at Caporetto on October 24, 1917, the front line shifted along the Piave and the mountains of Veneto, directly involving Treviso and the surrounding foothill and alpine areas. These places became the scene of decisive battles for the outcome of the conflict.
Sites of memory
Accompanied by specialized tour guides, the itinerary allows you to understand the historical, military, and human context of the war through visits to memorials and commemorative museums.
Among the main stops:
- the Military Memorial of Monte Grappa, an imposing ossuary monument overlooking one of the harshest fronts of the conflict, a symbol of the sacrifice of thousands of Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers;
