Museo della Battaglia del Senio
The Museo della Battaglia del Senio (Battle of Senio Museum) in Alfosine presents the history of the local Battle of Senio, which occurred in April 1945 between advancing Allied and defending German forces on the Senio River. Following the collapse of the Gothic Line, German forces established defensive positions along the Senio River. Allied attacks on these positions began in the first days of April, and were successful; Alfosine was liberated on April 10.
The museum displays physical artifacts including weapons, uniforms, and military equipment used in the battle as well as written and photographic documentation of the battle and its aftermath. Exhibits illustrate the course of the battle and its effects upon local civilian populations, as well as other aspects of war and resistance in the community from 1943-45.
