The construction of Stelvio Pass is an extraordinary technical achievement for its time.Built between 1820 and 1825 on the orders of Emperor Franz I from Austria to connect the new Lombardy Province with Austria, this road was designed by Carlo Donegani engineer.
The goal is not only the military, but also to facilitate trade.Given the difficult terrain and limited technology at the time, the construction of a road along about 24 kilometers with so many sharp turns was evidence of the perseverance and expertise of workers.
