Forte Belvedere is today one of the most evocative sites of World War I on the Alpine front. In it, visitors can find a museum full of artifacts and images related to the Great War and are immersed in the atmosphere of the time thanks to a series of multimedia installations that, through noises, voices and videos, evokes the difficult life inside the fortress during the war period.
The Museum’s itinerary develops, on the three floors of the Casemate Block, three distinct themes related to the local and international realities of the Great War. The rooms on the first floor are devoted to the origins and particularities of the Highlands fort system and, in particular, to the history of Fort Belvedere. One room is dedicated to the history of the Lavarone community during the conflict.
The second floor outlines the military operations and wartime events that featured the Highlands, set in the broader context of the Italian-Austrian war. In addition to the history of the fort’s warfare and its garrison, it also discusses mountain warfare-the so-called “White War”-and war medicine.
The second floor is devoted to the general themes of World War I: its causes, trench warfare patterns, daily life of soldiers, “industrial warfare”, propaganda and memory of the conflict. The section is enhanced by a display that reconstructs the environment of the trench, in which the visitor can realize the spaces and conditions of existence of the soldier in the front lines.
Forte Belvedere a historical adventure within the walls that experienced the war.
