Con un poco di fatica hai raggiunto il piccolo fabbricato della stazione della teleferica \u201cIntermedia\u201d, che dal Rifugio Garibaldi saliva al Passo Garibaldi. Questa piccola costruzione in legno \u00e8 stata oggetto di un intervento conservativo da parte dei volontari del Museo della Guerra Bianca in Adamello e rappresenta oggi una testimonianza unica della tecnica costruttiva di tali strutture.
\nPochi metri pi\u00f9 a monte, a quota 2840, troverai un importante manufatto di origine militare. Si tratta della tomba che racchiudeva le spoglie di cinque soldati austriaci, caduti nel tentativo di penetrare in Val d\u2019Avio attraverso il Passo Brizio.
\nL\u2019azione si svolse il 15 luglio 1915. Gli austriaci, dal presidio posto al Rifugio Mandrone, tentarono l\u2019attacco alla cosiddetta \u201clinea dei passi\u201d, Venerocolo-Garibaldi-Brizio, con un\u2019azione a tenaglia compiuta da circa un centinaio di uomini. Mentre ai passi Venerocolo e Garibaldi venivano respinti, a passo Brizio i pochi difensori italiani, consapevoli di avere di fronte un numero molto superiore di attaccanti, lasciarono che gli avversari valicassero il passo e poi, dalle loro posizioni arroccate sulla Cima Garibaldi, li colpirono dall\u2019alto.
\nAiutati da una trentina di alpini che erano accorsi dal Rifugio Garibaldi, i soldati italiani riuscirono a scacciare gli austriaci, ai quali non rimase che risalire a fatica il passo per rientrare nelle proprie linee. Gli austriaci lasciarono sul campo 10 prigionieri e 5 morti, oltre al cadetto Franz Keim che, ferito, venne trasportato al Rifugio Garibaldi, dove morir\u00e0 la sera stessa.
\nI cinque caduti sulla Vedretta del Venerocolo trovarono sepoltura sul luogo della loro morte, a lato dell\u2019attuale sentiero che sale al Passo Brizio. Non si ha la certezza se nell’estate del 1920 don Antonio Aimale, incaricato del riordino di tutti i cimiteri militari dell’Alta Valle, provvide, come da lettera d\u2019intenti, alla loro traslazione nel cimitero militare di Val d’Avio.
\nLa tomba \u00e8 costituita da un cumulo di pietre granitiche disposte geometricamente e sulla lastra sommitale \u00e8 scolpita la seguente iscrizione:
\nGLI ALPINI ITALIANI
\nQUI COMPOSERO NELLA PACE ETERNA
\nLE SALME DI 5 SOLDATI AUSTRIACI
\n\u2020 [morti]
\nAL PASSO GARIBALDI
\nCOMBATTENDO
\n\tPER LA LORO PATRIA
\nIL 15-7-1915<\/p>\n
Il cadetto Franz Keim venne sepolto invece sotto un cumulo di pietre ai piedi di un grosso masso, attualmente coperto dalle acque del Lago Venerocolo. L\u2019iscrizione (che per errore riporta il cognome Klein anzich\u00e9 Keim) \u00e8 ancora visibile quando, durante i mesi invernali, il lago si svuota. La salma venne successivamente traslata nel cimitero di guerra di Val d\u2019Avio. <\/p>\n

A little climb has taken you to the small intermediate teleferic building which served the Garibaldi Hut-Garibaldi Pass section. This small wooden building has been restored by volunteers from the Adamello White War Museum with a view to conserving this unique testimony to the building techniques used in this type of work.
\nJust a few metres higher up, at 2840 metres, you will come across an important army building. It is the tomb of five Austrian soldiers who died in an attempt to penetrate the Avio valley across the Brizio Pass.
\nThe action took place on 15 July 1915. From their base at Mandrone Hut, the Austrians attempted to attack what was then called the Venerocolo-Garibaldi-Brizio \u2018pass line\u2019 with a pincer attack carried out by a hundred or so men. While the attack was repulsed at the Venerocolo and Garibaldi passes, at Brizio Pass the few Italian defenders, aware that they were heavily outnumbered by their attackers, waited for their adversaries to cross the pass and then struck from above from their Cima Garibaldi positions.
\nHelped by thirty or so Alpini soldiers who had come to their rescue from Garibaldi Hut, the Italian soldiers succeeded in driving the Austrians off, leaving the latter to attempt the strenuous climb up to the pass once again to get back to their own lines. The Austrians lost 5 dead and 10 prisoners, besides cadet Franz Keim who was wounded and taken to Garibaldi Hut where he died that evening.
\nThe five who died at the Venerocolo look-out post were buried where they fell, alongside the footpath which climbs up to Brizio Pass today. We have no way of knowing whether Don Antonio Aimale \u2013 tasked in 1920 with reorganising the army cemeteries of the upper valley \u2013 took them to the Avio Valley army cemetery as planned.
\nThe tomb is made of a pile of granite stones arranged geometrically with the following inscription on top:
\nITALIAN ALPINI SOLDIERS
\nBURIED THE BODIES OF FIVE AUSTRIAN SOLDIERS
\n\u2020 [WHO DIED]
\nAT GARIBALDI PASS
\nFIGHTING
\nFOR THEIR COUNTRY
\n\tON 15-7-1915.
\nHERE FOR ETERNAL REST<\/p>\n
Cadet Franz Keim was buried under a pile of stones at the foot of a large boulder now covered by the waters of Lake Venerocolo. The inscription (which mistakenly notes the surname as Klein rather than Keim) is still visible when the lake empties out in the winter months. The corpse was taken to the Avio Valley war cemetery. <\/p>\n

Mit etwas M\u00fche erreichen Sie das kleine Geb\u00e4ude der Station der Zwischenseilbahn, die von der Garibaldi-H\u00fctte zum Garibaldi-Pass hinauff\u00fchrte. Das kleine Holzgeb\u00e4ude wurde von den Freiwilligen des Museums des Wei\u00dfen Krieges restauriert und ist heute ein einzigartiges Beispiel f\u00fcr die Bautechnik von damals.
\nEin paar Meter weiter oben, auf einer H\u00f6he von 2840 Metern, treffen Sie auf ein wichtiges milit\u00e4risches Gedenkmal. Es handelt sich um das Grabmal von f\u00fcnf \u00f6sterreichischen Soldaten, die bei dem Versuch, \u00fcber den Brizio-Pass in das Avio-Tal einzudringen, gefallen sind.
\nDer Kampf fand am 15. Juli 1915 statt. Die \u00d6sterreicher versuchten, von der Garnison bei der Mandrone-H\u00fctte aus die sogenannte \u201eLinie der P\u00e4sse\u201c Venerocolo-Garibaldi-Brizio mit ungef\u00e4hr hundert Mann einzukesseln. W\u00e4hrend sie am Venerocolo- und Garibaldi-Pass zur\u00fcckgeschlagen wurden, lie\u00dfen am Brizio-Pass die wenigen italienischen Verteidiger, die sich bewusst waren, einer viel gr\u00f6\u00dferen Zahl von Angreifern gegen\u00fcberzustehen, ihre Gegner den Pass \u00fcberqueren, um sie dann von ihren Stellungen auf dem Garibaldi-Gipfel aus von oben zu beschie\u00dfen.
\nMithilfe von etwa drei\u00dfig Alpini, die von der Garibaldi-H\u00fctte herbeigeeilt waren, gelang es den italienischen Soldaten, die \u00d6sterreicher zu vertreiben, die sich den Pass hinaufk\u00e4mpfen mussten, um wieder zu ihren Linien zu gelangen. Die \u00d6sterreicher lie\u00dfen 10 Gefangene und 5 Tote auf dem Feld zur\u00fcck, zus\u00e4tzlich zu dem Kadetten Franz Keim, der verwundet in die Garibaldi-H\u00fctte transportiert wurde, wo er noch am selben Abend starb.
\nDie f\u00fcnf auf dem Venerocolo-Gletscher Gefallenen wurden an der Stelle ihres Todes begraben, neben dem heutigen Wanderweg, der zum Brizio-Pass hinauff\u00fchrt. Im Sommer 1920 wurde der Pfarrer Don Antonio Aimale mit der Neuordnung aller Milit\u00e4rfriedh\u00f6fe des Obertals beauftragt. Dar\u00fcber, ob die f\u00fcnf Gefallenen demnach auf den Milit\u00e4rfriedhof des Avio-Tals \u00fcberf\u00fchrt wurden, wie vom Pfarrer beabsichtigt, besteht keine Gewissheit.
\nDas Grabmal besteht aus einem Stapel von geometrisch angeordneten Granitsteinen. Auf dem obersten Stein ist folgende Inschrift eingemei\u00dfelt:
\nAN DIESEM ORT BESTATTETEN
\nDIE ITALIENISCHEN ALPINI
\nDIE STERBLICHEN RESTE VON 5 \u00d6STERREICHISCHEN SOLDATEN

Der Kadett Franz Keim wurde unter einem Steinhaufen am Fu\u00df eines gro\u00dfen Felsblocks begraben, der heute vom Wasser des Venerocolo-Sees bedeckt ist. Die Inschrift (die f\u00e4lschlicherweise den Nachnamen Klein statt Keim angibt) ist heute noch sichtbar, wenn sich der See in den Wintermonaten entleert. Der Leichnam wurde sp\u00e4ter auf den Kriegsfriedhof des Avio-Tals \u00fcberf\u00fchrt. <\/p>\n
