Porzûs
In 1945, at the huts above Porzûs, a hundred partisans from the Garibaldi Brigade and the Gap massacred about twenty partisans from Osoppo. They were commanded by Geko, who later went around saying that the group was accused of treason and collusion with the fascists, all to avoid consequences. But at the end of the war, Storno, who had escaped the massacre, sentenced Geko and his men to life imprisonment in absentia.
