Bivacco is almost in high mountain, generally in rocky zones. Is
generally without water. Is free for use and sleeping due to his
position in zones where no other repair are available. Most of this
basic_hut are near to mountain peaks and they are built specifically
for alpinism

Instead, wilderness hut in italy are generally near to forests and
generally has water near. Sometimes are old homes for shepherds or
farmers during summer ("alpeggio")

Sorry for my difficult-to-understand description...

But if you do not understand you can come to Italy and ask bigshot to
show you the difference :-D
