Monte Cengio, Summit in Vicentine Alps, Italy
Monte Cengio rises 1,354 meters above sea level on the southwestern edge of the Asiago plateau within the Vicentine Alps in Veneto.
During the 1916 Battle of Asiago in World War I, over 10,000 soldiers lost their lives between May and June on this mountain.
The mountain received the status of sacred territory in 1967, preserving wartime galleries and military roads as part of its monumental area.
Visitors can explore the mountain through multiple marked trails, including the Strada dei Granatieri path that leads to observation points.
Near the summit, a rocky cliff known as salto del granatiere marks where Italian soldiers jumped with enemy forces rather than surrender.
