| The "recuperante" |
At the end of World War 1st, the "recuperante"
represented a real job. In years of autarchy, even the
smallest iron splinter had a considerable value and the
need forced many to gather everything left on the
battleground, no matter how hard or dangerous was that
task. Significant, in this sense, are also the pages
written by the great writer from Asiago Mario Rigoni Stern
in his book "Le stagioni di Giacomo".

The
value of a "recuperante"
As time passed the work of the "recuperanti" was highly useful also
to make safer many mountain walks, once strewn with remainings
hardly
visible and potentially very dangerous, now
walked by thousands of tourists looking for landscapes and
fresh air. To all the victims of this dangerous activity was
dedicated the "Capitello del Recuperante" posed on
the road from
Roana
to the Assa valley.

A
"recuperante" today
Today a "recuperante" is not anymore animated by the
need but by his passion and his wish
not to forget. A passion that pushed him to venture in
inaccessible zones often with bad weather. A "recuperante" of
memory, therefore, in order to the evidence of those dramatic events does not get lost and could be a
warning to all of us.
