Italy. The image is of the famous Three Towers, known in German as Drei Zinnen but more poetically named in Italian as the Tre Cime di Laverado located in the Sexten-Sesto eastern region of the Italian Dolomites. During the First World War, known as the White War the peaks provided a natural barrier between the Italians and the warring Austrians, the front line running through the peaks.
