Songs of the Great War
Military hymns and mountain songs where not the only legacy of the Great War (1915-18): the major conflict also bequeathed a small number of songs written by professionals of the nascent Italian song industry. These tunes enjoyed immense popularity everywhere and not only on the battlefield, including the one providing the title to the anthology and which was adopted by the Bersaglieri corp as their official anthem, or the many creations penned by E. A. Mario including the immortal Leggenda del Piave.
