Capanna Tita Secchi

The Tita Secchi bivouac is built entirely of wood and is located at the Portole pass which can be reached from the Maniva Pass.

It is dedicated to the memory of the Brescian partisan Tita Secchi killed at the age of 29 and his comrades in arms of the Perlasca Brigade.

Born in Bologna but raised in Brescia, great mountaineering enthusiast, he organized a partisan group of the Perlasca Brigade in the Bagolino area. Captured on August 26, 1944 following the fascist roundup, he had the opportunity to be released upon payment of a large sum by his family, but he refused, placing the condition that his comrades were also released.

He was shot in Brescia on September 16 with five other comrades.
