Gigantesca Caserma degli Alpini abbandonata

IF YOU RECOGNIZE THE SITE, PLEASE DO NOT MENTION IT IN THE COMMENTS TO PRESERVE THE PLACE FROM VANDALS AND THIEVES. Gigantic Alpine barracks, now abandoned but fortunately not vandalized, unfortunately not fully accessible. The Alpine troops: "Heavy drinkers, quick of tongue and hand, proud of themselves and their Corps, they live roughly and die heroically." Gabriele d'Annunzio Thus said one of the most brilliant minds in our history: a "pen" so rare that he often managed to impose his stories on true History. But who are the Alpine troops? What does it mean to be a "Black Feather" or a "son of the mountains"? The National Alpine Association is not just made up of men who love to gather to parade wearing the Alpine hat in memory and honor of past generations. The Association, even today, after more than 100 years, is more than ever a living and breathing organization that is part of the daily life of our country. Its mission is to perpetuate its identity, teaching young people the value of giving, love of neighbor, and love of homeland. This is the story of the Alpini, the oldest active mountain infantry corps in the world. This is an example of how man and the mountains have shaped the history of our country, a love that even today, after more than 150 years, has brought together 400,000 members for the final call: the 95th National Rally in Vicenza. 4K video (60 fps) shot with a Xiaomi 12 T Pro smartphone and a DJI Osmo Mobile SE gimbal.
