Partisan Paths in Piedmont: Routes and Places of Resistance between Gran Paradiso and Monviso. A hiking reading book by Sabine Bade and Wolfram Mikuteit. The 20 months of the Italian Resistenza, during which people of various political backgrounds came together from September 1943 to fight against the German occupation and Italian Fascism and to advocate for radical change in their country, have left a lasting impact on Italy. The heavily depopulated mountainous region of Piedmont, near the border with France, was particularly affected. Authors Sabine Bade and Wolfram Mikuteit take readers on a historical journey and make the story of the Piedmontese resistance movement tangible – whether on foot, by car, or comfortably at home on the sofa. "Partisan Paths in Piedmont" is a book that introduces readers to the world of the Alpine valleys that fan out westward.
