The museum “The Villa of the Prince” is a museum linked to the war and the British presence in the villa, which played an important role as the headquarters of the British army during World War I.
The Villa also saw the presence for about a year, starting from March 1918, of the Prince of Wales, future King of England Edward VIII.
The important visit to the villa and the British cemeteries by King George V and Queen Mary in 1923 is also remembered, commemorated by a plaque made for the occasion.
The museum also highlights the figure of the writer Vera Brittain, who dedicated herself on the battlefields as a volunteer nurse for the Red Cross and later wrote the work “Testament of Youth” where she recounts the painful experience lived during the Great War and the battles that followed in the years on the Asiago Plateau, emphasizing the sorrow for the loss of her brother in the war, who was buried in the Granezza Cemetery.
