At the Museo della Grande Guerra in Canove, Roana, the exhibition "Gli eroi silenziosi" reconstructs the story of the animals that shared hardships, dangers and sacrifices with soldiers at the front. Mules, horses and carrier pigeons were precious companions in a often forgotten story. The exhibition displays about a hundred period photos and postcards, saddles and packs for mules and horses, a farriery section with veterinary tools, transport packs for dogs and message-carrying tubes, pigeon lofts and equipment for pigeons, as well as a section dedicated to cavalry weapons. The opening is on Sunday 29 November 2026 at 10.30, with free admission for the morning. The exhibition is promoted by the Comune di Roana with the Museo Civico Siben Alte Romaine and the Museo della Grande Guerra di Canove.
