In the three days that divided the end of the Final Battle and the signing of the armistice, the Italian army succeeded in advancing in a large part of Veneto and Trentino. From the Stelvio Pass to the line of Livenza the various armies, aided by the almost complete lack of resistance, reached the most important cities with the exception of Monfalcone. On 02nd November the troops entered Rovereto through Vallagarina. The Fourth Army went back up the Valsugana while the Eight Army reached the basin of Agordo.
On that day the Seventh Army too went into action and from the westernmost section of the front attacked the Stelvio Pass, the pass at Tonale and the dam at Chiese Valley. On the following day (03rd November) this enabled a column to descend to Val Venosta and to block the passage of the Austro-Hungarian troops toward Resia Pass.
That same day Levico, Pergine and, above all, Trento were liberated. At 3.15 pm on 03rd November a squadron of Cavalleggeri entered one of the two cities that were the symbols of the Great War: welcomed by the popular enthusiasm of the inhabitants, they were soon joined by the Arditi (the bold ones) of the assault divisions, Alpini and the mountain artillery. At 10.00 pm even the Fourth Army arrived after it had completed its operations in Valsugana. At Castello del Buon Consiglio, the place where the irredentist followers Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa had been executed, the Italian flag with the emblem of Savoy was raised.
