Great War Museum “Casa III Armata” di Redipuglia

An integral part of the Shrine, the Redipuglia Great War Museum is located inside the former House of the III Army at the foot of Colle Sant’Elia. Born in 1971, it offers an overview of the events of this section of the front and a collection of weapons that makes it one of the most complete in Italy. It consists of an entrance hall where a topographical map of the front of the Middle and Lower Isonzo has been set up and four rooms.

The first is dedicated to the Third Army and you can admire the showcases where the weapons used by the fighters during the conflict, some soldiers’ uniforms and medical equipment are exhibited. In the center of the room a stretch of trench and a karst battlefield with the position of a heavy machine gun have been reconstructed On the walls, numerous photographs document life in the trenches.

The second room, on the other hand, reconstructs the history and construction projects of the Thirty Thousand Invited Cemetery and the Redipuglia Memorial through the numerous photographic material. Added to this are the images of the war inscriptions found in the trenches of the area and a section dedicated to the Navy, the Air Force and military chaplains at the front.

The third room exhibits various equipment used by soldiers including telephones, leg traps and shears. Often this space is also used as an exhibition venue for some temporary exhibitions on the Great War. Finally, in the last room a video of a film reconstructs the Twelve Battles of the Isonzo and the translation of the Unknown Soldier from Aquileia to Rome.
