Blockhaus Maranza
Saturday night I attended a meeting on the recovery from the Company Forest Trento, the Municipality and associations and Alpini Villazzano Sat, paths and a military fortress in the areas of Cima Marzola and Maranza. These mountains dominate the east of the city of Trento.
The feasibility of this project is taking advantage of the valuable collaboration of the engineer Volker, historical and military scholar, the passionate "Fortress of the city of Trento.
is not my intention to put friends know about this project, "local" (can not be very interesting), but simply bring the thrill and wonder about the personal aspects of this mountain on which they are fond of since childhood. Not having a record card I needed to carry the lessons learned and "download" here is some important information even if it's hard to remember the many technical details listed by the scholar.
Villazzano I live in a small town on the hill of Trento. They are at the foot of the mountain Maranza. About 40
ago my grandfather with my father as a young boy, have recovered, just in that area, a former military prison at a mountain house.
From when I was little I spent all my summers in Maranza. I am familiar with its paths, its lawns, the street fire zones are "good" where to collect mushrooms.
Thanks to my grandmother, with whom I have long walks in the woods, I met the old military roads and its ruins which are still partly visible.
How many times have I passed! And who knows how many times I wondered what were those walls, those stones!
Saturday evening, thanks to quest'igegnere, but I prefer to call it, very passionate historian, I could wonder why all those "rocks"!
For years this scholar is concerned to discover and explain the building of the Fortress of Trento.
Maranza, or "Blockhaus Maranza", was briefly the most modern military logistics center in Europe never existed. This engineer has access to the archive of Trento and State of Vienna has found approx. 25,000 documents never read their own motivations for the design and construction of the blockhouse Maranza. During the evening
illustrated original military maps of the area related to strategies and directions placements on the same machine guns 9 / 75 and guns. We presented the project to build a road from the countries and Villazzano Povo door Maranza: The drawings indicate the odds even as they climbed the road by calculating the slope of a curve and the other not more than 12 meters because they had calculated that a mule could carry a gun with a maximum slope of no more than this (pazzesco!).
has shown photos, never presented before, the battery, the casemates, water collection wells, crooked streets of the military, who dominated the dense trenches "my mountain."
From the drawings it was clear that military Maranza Marzola and the top had a very important posizine strategic military defense of the city of Trento.
Another news that surprised me were the original design drawings and photos of the construction of the cable car with automatic release located in the area of Pra Marquart with various material which was transported in two directions: Chegùl and clay.
All materials used for the construction of this cable car was brought back by approx. Trentino 9000 women still defined "women militarized."
My intent was not to bring the technical aspects but I can remember through my diary, although little good use of the great emotion that I felt Saturday night in bridging the likely questions asked so long ago with my grandparents, now been met.
Try to understand, above all, that happened so long ago that today I walk in the woods.
