About
The "Wolves of Tuscany" brigade of World War I is commemorated by two bronze wolves perched atop this substantial rock.
The “Lupi di Toscana” brigade was an infantry division composed of two regiments of the Italian Army. Active since 1862, the Tuscany division became known as the “wolves” in 1915 during World War I. The name was first used to refer to the brigade by the enemy Austrian army. Between 1916 and 1917, the division was active on the Asiago Plateau front, and then most notably, on the mountains of the Karst frontline around Trieste. They arrived in 1917 during Tenth Battle of Isonzo, when they captured Mount Sabotino and Dosso Faiti hill. In 1943, the division was dissolved.
