Le Sentinelle Del Lagazuoi (Italy) (Also does Austrian and German impressions)--In our little group you can find all type of persons, from the militaria collector to the simple enthusiastic; we think that what we do is a nice way to stay together and a good way to show history to people. In Italy, reenacting is a very new activity and Italians seem to like it very much--they look at these events with curiosity and intrest and they're always full of questions. Of course this positive situation helps us to grow.
What we reenact are italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers of different corps and units, this is because the most of the uniforms and equipments we wear are original items--it's already good luck to find an original uniform of your own size but find it with the collar patches or other badges you desire is really asking to much to the fortune!!!!! And absolutely we'll never strip off originals to put on fakes!!!! Now, some of our group, with the experienced hands of mothers or girlfriends, have started to recreate uniforms of their size and, in this case, of the unit they prefer. As we are a newly born group the first time we faced the public was in July 1998 for the opening ceremony of the IWW Open-air-Museum at Mount Lagazuoi--Martini Hedge, for this occasion we had the full help of the museum's staff and Italian & German army mountain troops, that helped us to recreate sandsacks position and wooden barracks, we also had a 75 mm italian cannon and two machineguns. The public was surprised, they didn't expect a thing like that, from 10.00 a.m. to 04.00 p.m. we've been "assaulted" several times by thousand of persons asking all kind of things: where...! what...! how...! Etc.etc.. At the end of the day we decided that it had been a glorius day and planned to repeat the experience; so this year, after being on another mountain in 1999 with the same success, we'll be again on the Dolomiti Alps, surrounded by a spectacular nature. |
