Museo delle truppe alpine

The museum, founded by Carlo Monti who collected and documented the events involving the Alpine Corps, protagonists of dramatic pages of history between the Two Wars, stems from the need to remember, spread and preserve their memory. The items on display in the various rooms include the Italian military uniforms from 1872 to 1945, caps, helmets, combat gear, camping beds, stretchers, radios, telephones and, of particular interest, some sledges used in the Russian campaign. All the material is accompanied by extensive photographic documentation and by a collection of postcards of all Alpine regiments.
