Garibaldi in Bezzecca
The Ledro Valley has always been a privileged communication way between Brescia and the Northern part Garda. During peace time, the position of Ledro Valley was very important for trade and commerce, but also during war time the armies could make use of a safe and rapid way to cross Ponte Caffaro and Forte d'Ampola passes.
The village of Bezzecca is situated on a pleasant plain in the middle of the valley, at the entrance with the Val Concei. The Assat torrent runs trough the village, dividing it in two parts.
The place is famous because it has been the theatre of the battles between the Garibaldi followers and the Austrian Army during the Third Independence War of Italy in 1866. During the First World War took place here long trench warfare between the Italian artillery and the Hapsburg army. The mountains surrounding the area have been the defensive line and are plenty of paths that cross the fortified zone.
