The First Battle of Monte Grappa, also known as First Battle of the Piave in Italy (Italian: Prima battaglia del Piave), was a battle fought during World War I between the armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy for control of the Monte Grappa massif, which covered the left flank of the new Italian Piave front. Thus the Italian front along the Piave river was stabilized and the Austro-Hungarians failed to enter the plains beyond and to take the city of Venice.

  • The First Battle of Monte Grappa, also known as First Battle of the Piave in Italy (Italian: Prima battaglia del Piave), was a battle fought during World War I between the armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy for control of the Monte Grappa massif, which covered the left flank of the new Italian Piave front. The Italian Army was in all-out retreat after the Austro-Hungarian autumn offensive of 1917. The Italian Chief of the general staff general, Luigi Cadorna, had ordered the construction of fortified defenses around the Monte Grappa summit in order to make the mountain range an impregnable fortress. When the Austro-Hungarian offensive routed the Italians, the new Italian chief of staff, Armando Diaz, ordered the Fourth Army to stop their retreat and defend these positions between the Roncone and the Tomatico mountains, with the support of the Second Army. The Austro-Hungarians, despite help from the German Army's Alpenkorps and numerical superiority, failed to take the mountain's summit during the first battle of Monte Grappa, which lasted from November 11, 1917 to December 23, 1917. Armando Diaz allowed his local commanders much more freedom of manoeuvre than his predecessor, which resulted in a more elastic and effective Italian defense. Thus the Italian front along the Piave river was stabilized and the Austro-Hungarians failed to enter the plains beyond and to take the city of Venice. (en)
  • La prima battaglia del Piave si svolse durante la prima guerra mondiale (nel novembre 1917) al confine tra Trentino e Veneto, tra il Regio Esercito italiano da una parte e le forze dell'Impero tedesco e dell'Impero austro-ungarico dall'altra. Le truppe italiane, credute vinte e moralmente distrutte anche dagli stessi vertici militari dopo la battaglia di Caporetto, opposero invece una tenace resistenza nei dintorni del monte Grappa tra le rive del Brenta e del Piave, permettendo così alla linea difensiva impostata lungo quest'ultimo fiume di continuare a resistere all'offensiva nemica, che dovette pertanto ridimensionarsi alla guerra di trincea.
