The refuge is named after Antonio Locatelli, who was born in Bergamo on April 17, 1895, and died on June 27, 1936, in the Lechemti massacre during the Ethiopian War. He was a highly decorated aviator (the only Italian soldier to receive three gold medals for his military valor), journalist, Italian politician, mountaineer, CAI academic and, at his death, president of the CAI of Bergamo. During the First World War, he distinguished himself as a pilot of military aviation, and his daring exploits made him famous. He participated in the flight over Vienna with D'Annunzio. Shot and captured on September 15, 1918, he managed to escape disguised as an Austrian soldier after a few weeks. Inside the shelter is a statue of the Virgin of Loreto, patron of the airmen.
