  A.N.A. Sezione di Udine - i tre simboli della Sezione
Quasi sulla cima del Monte, sorge un antico forte posto a difesa della pianura friulana.
L'opera fu completata nel luglio del 1958 e la domenica del successivo 14 settembre, nel corso di un'Adunata triveneta indetta per l'occasione, fu inaugurata alla presenza di un’immensa folla e delle più qualificate autorità, fra cui i vecchi comandanti della «Julia»: i generali Ricagno, Battisti, Scarpa e Capello.
La terza domenica di settembre, nella Giornata Nazionale del Disperso in guerra (che si celebra dal 1950) le migliaia di presenti, congiunti e reduci, uniti in una cerimonia che tocca i più alti vertici della commozione, diventano i protagonisti di quella che ben sì può chiamare l'apoteosi del dolore».

  Monito del Monte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monito del Monte ("little mountain monkey," Dromiciops gliroides) is a semi-arboreal South American marsupial which is thought to be more closely related to the marsupials of Australasia than to those of the Americas.
Monitos del Monte are found only in the mountains of Chile and Argentina, preferring dense, humid forests, particularly where there are areas of Chilean bamboo.
The distant ancestors of the Monito del Monte, it is thought, either remained in what is now South America while others entered Antarctica and eventually Australia during the time when all three continents were joned as part of Gondwana, or else were part of the Australian marsupial fauna which reinvaded South America.

 Australian Museum - Marsupials and Mistletoes
When Guillermo Amico and Marcelo Aizen (Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Argentina) discovered strings of mistletoe seeds clinging to the trunks of their host trees, they were intrigued because normally birds defecate the seeds onto the branches of trees while perching.
Since deposition on a vertical tree trunk would require a feat of unlikely bird acrobatics, and the green colour of mature fruits would be more attractive to a mammal than a bird anyway, they looked instead for a mammal vector.
They found that the small, endemic, nocturnal Monito del Monte (Dromiciops australis) is a highly efficient disperser of mistletoe seeds.

The fauna of the ecoregion is similarly unique, and includes species such as the pudú (Pudu pudu), the world’s smallest deer; the monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides), an ancient marsupial; the huillín (Lontra provocax) or river otter; the Darwin´s fox (Pseudolopex fulvipes); and the Darwin’s frog (Rhinoderma darwini) among many others.
The Valdivian Ecoregion is a narrow band of forest that runs along the western shore of the continent, separated for millions of years from other forests by the Pacific Ocean, the Andes mountain range, the Patagonian Steppe, and the Atacama Desert.
Other threatened species include almost all native freshwater fish, whose historical populations have dropped drastically, and the marsupial monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides).

Major shifts in our understanding of the relationships of marsupials remain possible.
For instance, in 1982 Szalay separated the group into two cohorts, the Ameridelphia, restricted to the Americas, and the Australidelphia, comprising all Australasian marsupials and, surprisingly, the South American "monito del monte" Dromiciops australis.
In this study (reported in Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution 11: 13-26) partial sequences were obtained for phosphoglycerate kinase (Download
