A shooting range as museum in Campitello. After a massive restoration, in the Spring of 2018, "L Stònt" was opened in Campitello: it’s a marksmen’s lodge, built in 1905 and used until the outbreak of the First Worls War.

In all the main villages (in Val di Fassa in Vigo, Pozza - "Casino di bersaglio distrettuale di Fassa", Moena and Forno) and in every city of old Tyrol, which belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was, in fact, a place where men able to bear arms could practice to bulls-eye shoot.

This building in Campitello represents one of the rare existing examples of shooting range of the local territorial militia, which were in charge of defending the borders: the "Scìzeres", shooters or "Bersaglieri immatricolati", from Campitello, Mazzin and Canazei. After the Great War, the small building became a house and was used as municipal deposit, too. The shooting range is nowadays one of the few that are still almost intact and the only one in Val di Fassa: that’s why it became part of the local branches of the Ladin Museum of Fassa. The exhibition hosts documents, multimedia films and vintage pictures, as well as the three small windows from where the "Scìzeres" used to practice their shots. The targets were located about 200-300 footsteps away (between 150 and 240 metres), toward the slope beyond Avisio stream. A small wall of stones served as shield for the scorekeeper.
