The present article offers a fresh take on the final year of World War I on the Italian front. While the Italian scholarship has emphasised the Italian recovery following the Caporetto defeat of November 2017, and non-Italian historians have focussed on the British and French military contributions to Italy’s resurrection, the Author stresses the multifaceted challenges that the Allies had to face over eleven months of close collaboration. Such challenges were not only military, but also political, financial and logistic. The Author studied their complexity with a comparative and transnational approach.
Il contributo si ripropone di offrire ai lettori una lettura innovativa dell’ultimo anno della Grande Guerra sul fronte italiano. Mentre la storiografia italiana ha enfatizzato la ripresa italiana dopo la sconfitta di Caporetto del novembre 1917, e gli storici stranieri si sono concentrati sul contributo anglo-francese alla stessa, l’Autore sottolinea le molteplici sfide che gli Alleati dovettero affrontare per undici mesi. Queste non furono solo militari, ma anche politiche, finanziarie e logistiche. L’Autore ne analizza l’intreccio con approccio comparativo e transnazionale.

Abstract
The present article offers a fresh take on the final year of World War I on the Italian front.

Such challenges were not only military, but also political, financial and logistic.
