Base Tuono, Military museum in Folgaria, Italy.
Base Tuono presents military exhibits within a former NATO missile base, featuring original Nike Hercules missiles and radar equipment at 4,200 feet elevation.
The facility operated from 1966 to 1977 as a strategic NATO installation, protecting Italy's eastern border against potential threats during the Cold War period.
The museum develops educational programs connecting students with NATO defense history through guided tours, exhibitions, and preserved military technology displays.
Visitors can explore the restored sections of the base year-round, with free admission and detailed information available in multiple languages at the entrance.
Three deactivated Nike Hercules missiles stand among the preserved radar systems, representing one of the few remaining complete missile defense installations from that era.
