THE GREAT WAR IN CAVALLINO TREPORTI 

We are at the beginning of the 20th century. Venice is a target of conquest for the Austro-Hungarians. For this reason they felt the need to build defenses, including the Cavallino Treporti coastline. Therefore, coastal batteries are built to house howitzers, guns capable of curved trajectory shots, to which more modern artillery pieces are later added.
