As many mountain passes in the Alps, Passo di Gavia saw horrors of the war. Monument on the pass is in memoriam of Battle of San Matteo during WWI. Actual battle took place at Punta San Matteo at an altitude of 3678 m. For a long time, it was the highest battle in history. During the battle, small Italian unit conducted daring attack (It takes a four-hour ice climb up a glacier to reach the base of the peak at 2800m altitude) to Austro-Hungarian fortified position, and conquer it.


Kao i mnogi drugi prevoji u Alpima, Prevoj Gavia je video užase rata. Spomenik na prevoju je podignut u secanje na bitku San Matea tokom Prvog Svetskog Rata. Sama bitka se dogodila na vrhu Punta San Matteo na nadmorskoj visini od 3678 m. Dugo je to bila najvisa bitkau istoriji. Tokom bitke, mala italijanska jedinica je sprovela drzak napad (potrebno je cetiri satapenjanja uz glečer samo da bi se stiglo do podnozja vrha na 2800m nadmorske visine) na austrougarski utvrđen položaj i osvojila ga.
