Il museo della Grande Guerra di Gorizia, ospitato nei suggestivi sotterranei delle cinquecentesche Case Dornberg e Tasso, intende rappresentare, in maniera chiara ed efficace, gli eventi bellici ed i loro riflessi umani e sociali.
After an introduction to the First World War, the focus is on the events of the Isonzo front.
Alongside the weapons of the conflict, objects from the daily life of the soldiers are displayed which, together with the life-size reproduction of a trench, well describe the dramatic reality of the front.
The situation of Gorizia, a genuine “in trench” city, deeply marked by bombings but never completely abandoned by its inhabitants, is also documented. The description continues with the events of 1917 – the year of the Austro-German breakthrough at Caporetto – and 1918, up to the Italo-Austrian armistice of November 3rd.
After the room dedicated to the history of the museum, a space is reserved for General Armando Diaz, with the exhibition of documents, medals and other objects.
