Was part of the Barrage Agno-Assa, III sector-Asiago. At the May 24 1915 3.55 strong Verena departed the first cannon shot from the Italian part of the great war which marked the entrance to the Kingdom of Italy during the first world war. It was also the first loud Italian made "silenced" by the impressive Imperial artillery
