Cappella
In 1916 the small chapel was erected by the Alpini of the 5th group in the center of this cemetery, called “Alle aquile delle Tofane”. In 1935 the bodies were unearthed and transferred, together with those from other war cemeteries, to the Military Memorial built nearby and inaugurated in 1939.
An iron door, surmounted by a plaque, leads into the small polygonal room with the vault decorated with laurel cords, burning braziers, coats of arms of the Alpine brigades.
On the counter facade there is a beautiful altarpiece by Pio Sòlero which, against the icy backdrop of the Dolomites, depicts a soldier while he watches over his fallen comrade.
