Description

This exhibition, located at the Polo Culturale (Cultural Centre) in Vermiglio since 2006, includes a collection of war relics and remains that were found by Emilio Serra on the mountains in Val di Sole, specifically in the Passo Tonale area on the Adamello and Presanella mountain group.

Upon request, the Museum organizes guided tours of Fort Strino and other forts in the area (Fort Zaccarana, Fort Mero, Fort Pozzi Alti or Pre­sanella).

FEEL THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE MOUNTAINS
Dear mum

At the White War Museum in Vermiglio, you can experience what it was like to be a soldier on the front lines. Through words, sounds, and lights using surround techniques—with sounds coming from different directions and points in the room—you will be completely immersed in the story of a soldier writing a letter to his mother during World War I.

Accessibility

The museum is fully wheelchair accessible, as there are no internal obstacles. Nearby, there is a parking lot with a reserved space for people with disabilities. Additionally, the museum room where the audio system is installed is accessible for visually impaired visitors.
