Its construction dates back to the years 1909 – 1912 and was in service during the Great War. Like the other batteries, it was connected by the narrow gauge Decauville railway network. The Pisani battery was more lightly armed than the Amalfi, with howitzers with a shorter range and still of a nineteenth-century design, so it could not be used to face the war on the Lower Piave front. During the Second World War, it housed an anti-aircraft artillery post and, after being decommissioned, it was occupied by civilian families who abandoned it in the last decades of the last century. It takes its name from the Venetian commander Vettor Pisani who defeated the Genoese fleet of Pietro Doria during the Chioggia war in 1380.
The Vettor Pisani battery is today the fulcrum of the “Via dei Forti” itinerary: a museum and a real incubator for exhibitions, events and a study centre.
