Tagliata Bariola, Military fortress in Valli del Pasubio, Italy.

Tagliata Bariola is a former roadblock in Valli del Pasubio, about 600 metres above sea level on the road from Schio to Pian delle Fugazze. Built lengthwise along the road from rubble, block and brick stone, it had a two-level casemate block along the flank ditch, with the lower floor below road level. The central passage was demolished in the 1930s; remains include the casemate block, parts of the rear corner casemate and caverned depot rooms.

Built in the 1880s, Tagliata Bariola was never modernized and was already outdated before World War I. It was partially disarmed in May 1916 and fully disarmed after the Strafexpedition ended in June 1916. In the 1930s most of the central block was demolished during road widening.

This military structure reflects Italian engineering practices from the late 1800s and shows how defensive needs shaped construction methods. It demonstrates the practical choices made to integrate fortifications into a mountain pass environment.

The site stands above Sant'Antonio del Pasubio on the SP 46; from the village, two hairpin bends and a straight climb lead to it. All entrances are barred, so the interior cannot be visited. The surviving casemate block, part of the corner casemate and the caverned depot rooms are visible from outside.

The four Gardner machine guns were American-made, bought directly from the USA in small numbers by the Italian army to defend the ditches of roadblocks like this one. Each corner casemate held one of them.
