During the war, the mountain was bitterly contested between Italy and Austria-Hungary, especially during the battle of Asiago in May and June 1916.

Remains from the war are now part of the Parco della Pace (Peace Park), an open-air museum.

In commemoration of the fighting during World War I, streets in many Italian cities bear the name of Coni Zugna, as does one of the stations of the Milan Metro Line 4.
