LE CARTOLINE DELLA GRANDE GUERRA

208 pp. - colour and b/w ill. - softbound - printed 2019
Italian text

THE POSTCARDS OF THE GREAT WAR

An interesting compendium that traces the years of the Great War with an instrument that was enormously used at the time such as the postcard.

Every single work has been scientifically treated, revealing its main characteristics and, where possible, the author reports on the artists and the artist-soldiers who made them.

In addition, written testimonies, short ungrammatical texts, small masterpieces of writing and phrases escaped from censorship.
