The Monumento Adamello Collini, situated in the heart of Pinzolo's Piazza S. Giacomo, stands as a tribute to Adamello Collini, a celebrated mountain guide and a symbol of courage in the local community. Born in Pinzolo in 1890, Collini dedicated his life to the mountains, becoming a guide and building the Rifugio Bédole in 1932. Collini's heroism extends beyond his mountaineering skills. During World War II, he provided assistance to those seeking refuge, helping them cross the border into Switzerland. This act of bravery led to his arrest by the SS in 1944. He was deported to Mauthausen and later to the subcamp of Melk, where he tragically died in 1945. The monument serves as a focal point in Piazza S. Giacomo, a central gathering place in Pinzolo. The piazza itself offers a glimpse into the town's character, reflecting its blend of history and natural beauty. While Pinzolo faced a devastating fire in 1913 that destroyed many of its architectural treasures, the town has rebuilt itself, maintaining its charm and connection to the surrounding Dolomites. Visiting the Monumento Adamello Collini offers a moment for reflection on the values of courage, resilience, and community spirit. It's a reminder of the deep connection between the people of Pinzolo and the mountains that define their landscape and history. The monument is a starting point for exploring the Val Rendena valley, known for its outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and biking.
