This book sheds new light on the role of the military in Italian society and culture during war and peacetime by bringing together a whole host of contributors across the interdisciplinary spectrum of Italian Studies.

Mattia Roveri is Visiting Fellow in the Department of Italian Studies at New York University, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of History in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Hostos Community College, City University of New York.
