A volume which brings an imperial and colonial perspective to the Italian experience of the First World War. Vanda Wilcox explores how the Italian empire was conceived both in conventional terms as a system of colonies under Italian sovereignty, and as an informal global empire of emigrants; both were mobilised in support of the war.
A study of how the Italian army managed morale and troops responded to its policies during the First World War.
In Italy in the Era of the Great War, Vanda Wilcox brings together nineteen Italian and international scholars to analyse the political, military, social and cultural history of Italy in the country’s decade of conflict from 1911 to 1922. Starting with the invasion of Libya in 1911 and concluding with the rise of post-war social and political unrest, the volume traces domestic and foreign policy, the economics of the war effort, the history of military innovation, and social changes including the war’s impact on religion and women, along with major cultural and artistic developments of the period. Each chapter provides a concise and effective overview of the field as it currently stands as well as introducing readers to the latest research. Contributors are Giulia Albanese, Claudia Baldoli, Allison Scardino Belzer, Francesco Caccamo, Filippo Cappellano, Selena Daly, Fabio Degli Esposti, Spencer Di Scala, Douglas J. Forsyth, Irene Guerrini, Oliver Janz, Irene Lottini, Stefano Marcuzzi, Valerie McGuire, Marco Pluviano, Paul O’Brien, Carlo Stiaccini, Andrea Ungari, and Bruce Vandervort. See inside the book.
La partecipazione alla Grande guerra trasformò radicalmente l'Italia, come e più che tutta l'Europa. Nacque allora il Paese che conosciamo. Le voci del Dizionario parlano di combattenti, di armi e di battaglie. Di mobilitazione, di lavoro, di donne. Di propaganda e di politica, di governi e di opposizioni. Ma non solo: parlano di religione, di arte e di letteratura perché un senso bisognava trovarlo alla guerra totale.
