Giuseppe Ungaretti experienced the First World War on the front line. He joined up as a volunteer and he fought as an infantryman on the Carso. He soon realised the horror of the war and despite the sorrow he was witnessing in the trenches, he wrote beautiful poems full of life and love.

Giuseppe Ungaretti visse in prima persona la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Si arruolò volontario e combatté da fante sul Carso. Presto realizzò l’orrore della guerra e nonostante il dolore di cui era testimone in trincea, scrisse bellissime poesie piene di vita e di amore.
