Dear Lidia… Letters from a Florentine Bersagliere returning from the Don front

On sale at MuGot
€ 18

The story of the maternal grandfather's wartime experience and the study of his intense correspondence. One of the many who participated in the Russian Campaign, one of the lucky few who, by dint of continuing the Davaj marches, managed to return home. The study of the correspondence confirms our feeling of the immense sacrifices made by our soldiers during the second conflict in Russia. Victims of an unwanted war, of a regime that imposes it on them and of an equally hostile climate. Ready every day to give home news, each in their own dialect and with every form of communication: letters, postcards, photographs, diaries, memoirs, telegrams and even poems.
