thegreatwar

Between 1917 and 1918 the Marca Trevigiana was crossed and divided by one of the most bloody and hard-fought fronts of the Great War, the first great technological war that devasted the territory, the artistic monuments and the population (150.000 evacues).

The right Piave was the theatre of operations of the Italian army, the left Piave was the territory of occupation of the Austrian-Hungarian army.

Three important battles were fought here: the “Arrest” battle that blocked the Austrians, the “Solstice” battle and the subsequent ”Final” battle of VittorioVeneto that led to the victory and the armistice.

For this reason the Marca Trevigiana is now in the list of sacred areas of European collective memory.
