Touching the History – 15th Edition

On Sunday August 2, in the stunning setting of the Open Air Museum of the Great War – 5 Torri, “Touch the History with Your Hands” returns, one of the most exciting events dedicated to the memory of the First World War.

For an entire day, historical reenactors in uniform, coming from all over Europe, will bring to life an authentic and engaging narrative of the soldiers' lives on the Dolomite front. Among faithfully reconstructed camps, museum setups, and live demonstrations, it will be possible to immerse oneself in the daily lives of high-altitude soldiers, amidst toil, ingenuity, and survival spirit.

A particularly evocative moment will be the preparation of the rations by the German reenactors, cooked on a small period stove, just as it happened over a hundred years ago.

At 10:30 AM, there will be a Holy Mass, in a context of great historical and scenic value.
Throughout the day, the reenactors will be available to the public to share stories, curiosities, and details about life in the trenches, offering an educational and deeply human experience.

The event is free and open to all. The museum can be reached on foot or via the 5 Torri Chairlift, with no need for reservation.

A unique opportunity to live history, listen to it up close, and truly feel it.
