Very famous was the General Giuseppe Domenico Perrucchetti, passionate about the mountains and a scholar of military history, who in the second half of the 1800s had the idea of forming a special body for the defense of the alpine border with soldiers born in the mountains and good connoisseurs of roughness of the native land and with decidedly superior motivations compared to others not born in those valleys.
