history

The Rifugio Brentei was officially opened in 1947. A small hut, privately built in the early 1930s, which was also used as a bivouac box, stood on the site. After the Second World War, the Monza entrepreneur Gianvittorio Fossati Bellani acquired the building and handed it over to the CAI section of his hometown Monza. In honor of Fossati, the hut was named after his parents Alberto and Maria. In the period that followed, it was expanded several times. From 1949 onwards, Bruno Detassis ran the Rifugio for several decades, which made the Rifugio Brentei famous. His son Claudio hosted the refuge until 2009.
