Toccare la Storia con Mano – 15th Edition

An immersive journey through the Dolomites to relive life on the front of the Great War.

In the mountains that were the scene of the First World War, an extraordinary historical re-enactment comes to life, taking the audience back in time, with military encampments, original uniforms, artillery and the atmosphere that marked the history of the Dolomites.

The stars of the event will be the re-enactors of the Welschtiroler Historische Vereinigung, an association specialising in the historical reconstruction of South Tyrol between 1511 and 1918, recognised at European level for the accuracy of the uniforms, equipment and sets used, which have also featured in international film productions.

Throughout the day, the public will be able to explore a real period military camp, take a close look at rifles, tents, field kitchens and a fully functional cannon, enjoying a unique immersive experience.

Among the most evocative moments are the traditional "War Coffee" prepared according to the recipe of the Austro-Hungarian army and the rations served in authentic military mess tins from a historic, working Goulaschkanone.

At 2:00 pm, the battle simulation will take place, a moment of great visual and emotional impact that will bring to life the tensions and courage of those who fought in these mountains over a hundred years ago.

More than just an event: a cultural and sensory experience dedicated to memory, history and the deep bond between the Dolomites and the events that shaped their destiny.
