SOLVED RIDDLE.

The Fort "Dosso del Sommo" or "Dosso delle Somme" ("Werk Serrada" for Austrians) was a military fortification on the Folgaria plateau, in the province of Trento. The fort belonged to the great fortification system of the Austro-Hungarian empire on the Italian border. He played an important role during the First World War.
Today, many in Europe think that the return to nationalism is the solution to problems. They would do well to reflect on the damage that nationalism has caused in Europe.

I would guess this is from one of the darkest ages, i.e. 1914-1918. However, I'm unable to provide detail. If I'm right, it is weird to "like" this.

Credo che anche qui Alberto potrebbe dire la sua...

Dear Giuseppe

You did delete the NATO relict pano and did not get the time to reply to your very good comment. I wound have needed two or three more reads for an answer, e.g. about Europe and NATO. Maybe I will write you a mail.

I will not riddle on this “easy” fortress (Stichwort “Sperrfort Rocca Alta” - I think these three words are telltaling enough ...) - in our present understanding these places became mere touristic showrooms (not necessarily here ...). I my opinion too often presented in an offensive manner with missing balance between economic success needs and socio-historical responsibility.

Because of vacation planning currently on my mind I was going to joke and say it's somewhere near Como, built to protect Bella Italia from the assault of Swiss and Canadian Tourists ... but other people on this platform probably have a better idea. It's an interesting document, for sure.

Dear Christoph,

I think it is worth arguing only with those who appreciate it...
I often agree with you, but not in this case.
As you and Martin know, this is an Austrian fort of the First World War which is located in Italy, between the provinces of Trento and Vicenza.
But there is no historical tourism here.
99% of those coming to these places do not even know what they are visiting ;-)
They come here because it is a pleasant area, they can see a very beautiful panorama and there are interesting ruins.
You do not live far from these places and, if you wish, you will be able to see for yourself.
Only those who are fond of history like me (and I think you are too) know the history of these forts. And, unfortunately (or fortunately), we are very few.

Dear Augustin,
your hypothesis was very interesting and funny, but, from a strictly historical point of view, it iwas exactly the opposite ;-)
