520 _a"Racconti di guerra : (Maggio 1915 - Novembre 1916)" by Luigi Ambrosini is a collection of wartime reportage and sketches written in the early 20th century. Through first‑person dispatches from Italy’s Adriatic coast and the Alpine front, it portrays soldiers, volunteers, sailors, fishermen, and a frontline medical officer as they face mobilization and combat during World War I. The emphasis is on lived detail and character—marches, night watches, sea work, and field medicine—rather than strategy or heroics. The opening of this volume follows the narrator along the Adriatic in Romagna and the Marche, where the peaceful countryside gives way to the vast movement of men, guns, and supply columns, and where political “reds” and “yellows” now march together as soldiers. He rides at night with a platoon of volunteer cyclists, shares their rough lodging and restless humor, and contrasts their impatience for action with the calm vigilance of a lone sailor at a coastal semaphore, including an episode where volunteers mistake sea phosphorescence for enemy lights. A second section shifts to Fano at dawn, depicting fishermen and their lateen‑rigged boats working under wartime restrictions, recalling an Austrian bombardment, setting nets under the eye of the paròn Guideo, trading stoic talk about loss and honor, and watching dolphins tear their catch as if “even the dolphins wage war.” The third section sketches a newly minted doctor turned medical officer: a steady, practical man who earns his men’s respect by riding alone through the night to find the unit’s route, then later serves in the trenches. It closes with his letter from an assault near a fort: moonlit wire‑cutting, flares, machine‑gun fire, and the grim, methodical labor of rescuing and treating the wounded under shell and shrapnel.
