history
The hut was inaugurated in August 1891 after four months of construction, at that time under the name "Capanna Baitone al Lago Rotondo". With the construction of the hut financed by the CAI Section Brescia, Alpini troops also helped , who transported the building material to the construction site with their mules . In 1901, the one-story building was expanded for the first time, so that it could accommodate 18 people. After the end of the First World War , it was renamed to the Alpini captain Franco Tonolini from Brescia, who fell during the 3rd Battle of the Piave and was awarded the gold medal for bravery . In 1944 the rifugio was set on fire and destroyed. It was rebuilt in 1949, expanded in 1991 and restored in 2012.
