Pontebba Permanent Great War Exhibition

The Town Hall of Pontebba houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to the First World War, created by the association “What the Mountains Return” to remember the sacrifices endured by soldiers and the local population during the war.

Displayed here are finds recovered in the surrounding area that once belonged to soldiers, both Italian and Austro-Hungarian, who lived and fought on the Alpine front. Alongside a room devoted to period weapons and uniforms, the exhibition also explores aspects of daily life through a wide selection of ordinary objects such as mess tins, liqueur bottles, medicines and personal hygiene items.
