  Un luogo unico: d'effetto anche per chi lo ha sempre sotto gli occhi.Che ci si arrivi a piedi lungo la scalinata oppure in bici da dietro, è uno dei luoghi più caratteristici del Friuli Venezia Giulia.

  ...di una bellezza e un'imponenza mozzafiato. Qualcosa che ammutolisce per la sua grandiosità e arriva dritto al cuore per il suo significato. Non si può non restare colpiti dalla magnificenza di questa struttura che si staglia contro il cielo, dalle centinaia di nomi che riposano sotto la parola "presente" ripetuta all'infinito sulla lunghezza degli alti gradoni di pietra. È veramente una meraviglia, carica di storia, che mette i brividi e instilla ancora oggi uno spirito patriottico che permane addosso anche dopo averla lasciata.

  Un posto bellissimo ma allo stesso tempo molto triste. Un luogo di memoria da ammirare in tutta la sua maestosità, dove però bisonga soprattutto fermarsi a riflettere ed omaggiare tutti quegli eroi caduti con l'ideale di libertà!!Un altro scorcio di Storia della nostra Italia.....da visitare assolutamente!

  Arrivando e partendo dall'aeroporto di Trieste e guardando verso l'arco alpino si nota, in lontananza, una serie di grandi gradoni in granito chiaro con una grande parallelepipedo scuro in primo piano e una serie infinita di strisce bianche sopra ogni gradone. Parliamo del Sacrario Militare di Redipuglia. Inaugurato nel 1938 accoglie le tombe dei soldati e degli ufficiali del Regio Esercito, così allora si chiamava l'esercito del Regno d'Italia, caduti durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale 1915-1918. Il grande parallelepipedo nero è la tomba del Duca d'Aosta mentre ciascun striscione bianco è fregiato dalla scritta PRESENTE. Sui gradoni i nomi dei caduti: Mario, Carlo, Sergio, Mauro, Enrico, Giuseppe, Giovanni ma anche Davide, Erminio, Eugenio, Massimo, Francesco, Aldo, Gabriele, Claudio e tanti altri, oltre centomila. Quest'anno ricorre il primo centenario dello scoppio del Primo Conflitto Mondiale ed una visita, anche breve, a questo sacrario dovrebbe essere un obbligo per tutti gli Italiani. Un tributo ai nostri connazionali che, cent'anni fà, hanno sacrificato la loro vita par la Patria ! Buona visita !!

  Italy is home to several very impressive war memorials that make allied efforts - even the big Somme ones - look rather pale in comparison. This, at Redipuglia, is perhaps the most impressive. Taking up a whole hillside, there are thousands of men's names (I'm guessing 40000) under the repeated "Presente" on each main step, positioned behind their generals and the Duke of Aosta leading his 3rd Army.Zig-zagging steps lead to the triple crucifix at the top of the hill, where 60000 unknown troops are also remembered. Behind the museum at the top (which, in typical Italian fashion, never seems to be open!) is a plinth with a bronze map of the campaign area, a couple of artillery pieces and a monument to a soldier who won a Gold Medal of Honour.Returning to the foot of the hill, don't miss the preserved blind trenches on your left before you cross the main road to visit the original burial ground, the entrance to which is flanked by another two artillery pieces. The small effort of walking up this hill will reward you with several memorials to different branches of the services, and an array of artillery weaponry when you reach the top.The small museum on the site (in the big yellow building) contains well-preserved artefacts and is worth a few minutes of your time.There's also a cafe on-site, with a well-stocked freezer full of ice cream - which you'll need after climbing to the top of the monument!As a footnote, the Austro-Hungarian cemetery is about a kilometre further along the road.

  It is a very evocative place, imposing but not bombastic. Over 100,000 soldiers (known 40k, 60k unknown) lie beneath 22 huge Karst stone steps built in front of one of the 1st-World-War most contended hills. Watch out for heart patients: the climb is long and tiring. But the view from the top gets even the effort. This shrine replaces and exceeds, by size and ambitions, the previous Invitti Cemetery, located above the opposite hill, where there is a free parking. It is possible to reach the top (where there is a small military museum) by car, from a side street.

  Oct 2For the men in our group this memorial site and small museum were interesting. For the first time we were seeing a World War I monument. We had all seen the WWII American cemetery in Normandy, France, but never one like this. The museum was well done. There was plenty of artifacts found in the battleground to see, including a mock-up of a trench line complete with barbed wire. I enjoyed examining the various small arms pistols and rifles. Then there were the machine guns and heavy artillery pieces with wooden wheels. Across from the museum was the monolithic memorial with hundreds of steps leading to the top. We were struck by the enormity, symmetry, and meticulous inscription of the fallen soldiers' names on the steps. The solitude of the moment with the absence of other tourists and tour buses made the experience more reverent.

  If you are in the area, well worth a detour to see this enormous monument built between 1935-38. It is a peaceful setting and the quite long climb up the steps is worth it for the appreciation of the enormity of the losses suffered as well as the views. Worth reading Wikipedia - Italian Front (First World War) as historical background to what was going on.One hopes it was built in Mussolini's time was motivated primarily as a tribute rather than to "inspire" people for the next one - Italy joined the Axis in 1937....The trenches near the entrance on the right just inside the site are worth a visit too.
