Virtual visit

We would like to shortly present you what you may look visiting the Rovini Collection. Not only war findings, but also interesting old images and an accurate reconstruction of an officer hut realized with absolutely original things and gears.



The search
Rusted remnants gathered in the forests but also memories recovered in attics and barns; old yellowed images and tiny things left by the armies and used for a long time by the families; pieces of the past that, recovered and collected, help to understand life and troubles of the soldiers on the mountains.

The exhibition
The presentation of the findings is simple and interesting, organized by kind and context: from the trench shields to the rests of the daily life, from first aid kits to the prestigious gathering of old hand grenades, one of the most complete, interesting and accurate.

Room 1

Room 1
In the room 1 a wide collection of hand grenades and shields. Interesting remainings of crampons and skis to easily move in the wintertime.

Room 2

Room 2
Here it is possible to look at bayonets, rifles, pistols and even bullets recovered on the battlefields. A particularity: a pointing system for guns.

Room 5
The impressive reconstruction of a hut allows to put the things in their original context and provides elements for an immediate understanding of uses and functions of many militaria of that age. A little emotion that makes "talking" also the things exhibited in the simple and efficace displays.
