History
During the World War I, Pinzolo experienced considerable hardship. Due to its location on the Italian front line, grain stocks were requisitioned for the war effort and many men were conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army to defend the Adamello front, fighting against the Italian forces. During the summer months the 6th company of the 2nd Regiment k.k landesschützen "Bozen' was stationed in the town. These events are documented in the novel "La penna del Corvo bianco" [4]
During the Second World War, Pinzolo distinguished itself through acts of exceptional civilian courage. Between 1943 and 1945, despite German military occupation, the town sheltered and assisted hundreds of Allied prisoners of war who had escaped captivity, helping them to reach neutral Switzerland. The townspeople suffered deportations and severe reprisals as a consequence. In recognition of this conduct, Pinzolo was awarded the Medal for Civil Valor ("Medaglia d'argento al merito civile") in March 2006.[5][6]
