Army?
If you have a cat, don't bring it.
Was there last summer and did a bit of riding but mainly cross country and road. However, you'll be right at the base of the Alps and have loads of major riding centers within a relatively short drive, so you really couldn't be in a better spot for DH. You'll find that most of the ski resorts in Italy run lifts in the summer for bikes. I'm based about 2 hours south of vicenza, and do downhill at Abetone gravity park and its not bad.
@ JohnE-yeah army...

Have you looked at Lake Garda yet? I think its within an hour or so of Vicenza and its supposed to be the best mountain biking in Europe. Also, this has been what I'm checking out for the summer in the Dolomites... It's a bike park with about 14 lifts over a huge rideable area. Also worth checking out is a place called Livigno to the north.
