"The Dreams of the Soldier," published by Alpinia Editrice, arises as an ideal continuation of "Traces of History."
The volume takes shape from the desire to answer the questions of those who visit the sites of the Great War in Alta Valtellina: how did the soldiers live and what were their habits and hopes? Through military diaries, direct testimonies, and archival documents, it reconstructs daily life, made possible, despite enormous difficulties, by a precarious yet fundamental communication and transportation system.
The book also includes a section dedicated to the territory of Sondalo, with insights related to local historical memory. An authentic and passionate narrative that provides a realistic snapshot of mountain warfare. An intense and extraordinarily well-curated work that tells of soldiers, of their dreams... too often unattainable.
