Alpini Bridge Bassano – Alpini Museum
Guided tour of the Alpini Bridge and the Alpini Museum in Bassano del Grappa
The Alpini Bridge, also known as Ponte Vecchio, is the most representative symbol of Bassano del Grappa and one of the most evocative places linked to the history of the Alpini Corps.
At the western entrance of the bridge, beneath the historic Taverna degli Alpini, lies the Bassano Alpini Museum, a museum that tells the history, values, and human stories of the Alpini in a direct and engaging way, deeply connected to the Monte Grappa territory.
The Alpini Museum
The museum was founded in 1950 and is located on two underground floors of the building, which is entirely owned by the Monte Grappa Alpini Section, whose headquarters are on the upper floor.
The museum collection has grown over time thanks to private donations and the recovery of materials from the surrounding mountains, the scene of some of the most dramatic events of the twentieth century.
The exhibition path includes artifacts and testimonies related to:
- First World War
- Second World War
- African Campaign (Abyssinia)
- Russian Campaign
Immersive reconstructions
The second underground floor is dedicated to environmental reconstructions that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the daily life of soldiers:
- a trench position
- a nursing station
- an officer’s command hut
These reconstructed environments make the visit particularly engaging, ideal not only for military history enthusiasts but also for schools, families, and organized groups.
