Monte Grappa

Due to its geographic position near the Venetian plain, the Monte Grappa area is very rich in both flowers and plants.

In fact, its climatic conditions has favoured the prevalence of small Mediterranean scrub bushes and alpine vegetation that is composed mostly of conifers[clarification needed] in the snowy areas.

[3] Typical pasture grasses include: Festuca paniculata and Helictotrichon parlatorei, and on the cliffs Minuartia graminifolia can be found.

The Italians made caves in the rock and built fixed emplacements for the artillery so that they could keep control from the Valderoa Mount to Caprile hill.

Post war, NATO built a radar missile base on Monte Grappa for American anti-aircraft defense.

On the summit of Monte Grappa there is a military memorial monument and ossaruary, designed by the architect Giovanni Greppi in collaboration with the sculptor Giannino Castiglioni.

In the video game Isonzo, one of the multiplayer maps takes place on the mountain during the Battle of Monte Grappa.
