The museums that are encountered along the path of the Gothic Line offer a vast section dedicated to the FEB the Brazilian contingent ( Montese museum) and the 10^th Mountain Division the US contingent (Iola museum) The FEB liberated the village of Montese and support the 10^th Mountain Division which finally broke through the Gothic Line. Numerous topic dioramas, multilingual support, tutorial billboards and more than four thousand objects and documents relating to the history of Italy and the territory of Montese enrich the locations and paths of memory, making it one of the few examples of an extended territorial museum in Italy.

Montese, Bronze Medal of Civil Merit, in the final phase of World War II was the northwest edge of the Gothic Line, the last German

defense against the advance of the allies in Italy. The Germans arrived in Montese at the end of the summer of 1944 from the front of Tuscany, where the

first defenses of the Gothic Line on the Giogo and Futa Pass had been broken by the attacks of the Fifth Army.
