The Museum
The Adamello White War Museum located at Temù was born from the necessity to remember the human and war events of the First World War. Opened to the public August 26th 1984, it engaged, and still does, the "Friends of the Adamello White War Museum Association" in the recovery and conservation work of the materials, documents and manufactures, began in 1974.
Until 1979, the creator and coordinator of the volunteer activities was mourning Sperandio Zani (Spera) that lived intensively the White War, having participated in almost every combat in Adamello. With images and many war and daily antiquities, the museum wants to show visitors all aspects of life in that war, fought at an altitude of over 3000 meters.
The museum wants to remind the wounds caused by the war in these valleys that, all originated from the massif of the Adamello - Presanella, saw its inhabitants face life in conditions to the limit of survival.
An austrian howitzer of 104 cm dated 1914 welcomes the visitor at the museum entrance. In the rooms and corridors of the museum, the material recovered by volunteers on the Adamello glaciers is shown. These materials, restored and classified, are accompanied by panels with dramatic photographies of that time and flags . Notice the immense collection of artillery bullets, the reconstruction of a recovery-shack complete of all the objects of country life and trasportation sledges, found in a perfect state of conservation.
There's also place for trench shields, wire netting, alpine equipment, weapons and personal objects that made up the alpine equipment. A rich library is available, with books and documents about the great war in Adamello as well as other areas of the front.
