When Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary in May 1915, her armed forces faced a particularly challenging task as the battlefield was the often mountainous terrain of what is now northern Italy, with all the obvious difficulties that entailed for warfare, made worse by the good defensive installations the enemy put in place. While Italy also fought on other fronts, this was the principal area of operations and the bravery and persistence of the Italian soldier, often in exceptionally difficult circumstances, gained much praise.
