trenches in perfect condition. these trenches were built shortly before the First World War. they were intended to protect the Italian side from a possible invasion of Switzerland. I have never actually been used for defensive purposes. the fact that they are at a low altitude, in fact at 400 metres, has allowed perfect conservation. people had forgotten them and nature had filled them with earth so it was simply enough to remove the earth and arrange it for a moment and the trenches appeared in all their completeness.
