Touching the History – 15th Edition

In the mountains that were the theater of World War I, an extraordinary historical reenactment comes to life, capable of taking the audience back in time, among military encampments, original uniforms, artillery, and atmospheres that have marked the history of the Dolomites.

The protagonists of the event will be the reenactors of the Welschtiroler Historische Vereinigung, an association specialized in historical reconstruction of South Tyrol between 1511 and 1918, recognized at the European level for the accuracy of the uniforms, equipment, and sets used even in international film productions.

During the entire day, the audience will be able to explore a real historical military camp, observe rifles, tents, field kitchens, and a perfectly functional cannon, experiencing a unique immersive experience.

Among the most evocative moments, the traditional “War Coffee” prepared according to the recipe of the Austro-Hungarian army and the rations served in authentic military mess kits through a historic functioning Goulaschkanone.

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

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