Hi to everyone! I am from italy, the picture above was taken by me on april 2012 just in time before the complete desctruction of the italian cold war fortification. Its locations is near a small town called Spilimbergo.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think there are only 4 panzernest survived along the "tagliamento line".
3 located at Pinzano.
1 located at Ragogna.

Thanks for the information. I have found only two Panzernests at Pinzano. There was a third marked at the information table, at the side of old monument (sacrario), but I found nothing there. Where is the survivor at Ragogna? I have try to visit and locate as much as possible from the Cold war line, which survived: Carso, Prealpi Giulie 2, Prealpi Giulie 2, Tagliamento.

Incredible! I'm pretty sure the M15 turret was used in the Tagliamento line, in a fortification called Pozzo.
Happy to know somebody saved it.

Exactly, the third panzernest at Pinzano is aside the old monument inside a small housing.
Maybe is a bit difficult to spot because is in the woods..
Pinzano wasn't affected by demolitions.
I think is still in place...a year ago the building was still there, but I didn't check inside the barrack.

This panzernest is located here, 200 meters along the gravel road:https://goo.gl/maps/exmTUirdGYxJg2vx6
This one was left untouched, the days just after demolitions.
At today's date honestly I'm not 100% sure is still there...

Thanks for the info, will try to visit them anytime.

I have seen photos of any other Panzernest in Italian private collection (including tu unique Italian rotating version). There is also one of them in a garden of restaurant in Bergamo.

@ jory:
When the picture was taken?
And - you mean it serious - it's the upper part of Panzernest from Coll Dels Belitres?? Or it's another Panzernest?
