World War One

In early June 1916 Monte Zovetto was part of an Italian defensive line barring the advancing Austrian Strafe expedition from access to Val Canaglia. Retreating Italian forces held by the Liguria, Forli, Pescara and Catanzaro brigades defended positions from Lemerle to Monte Zovetto and Monte Pau, with the Liguria brigade suffering 25% casualties.[2]
