Cesare Battisti and the Trentino


Over 40,000 Trentini were interned in concentration camps in northern Austria and Styria, and treated not much better than common criminals, compelled to live in hideous surroundings and promiscuity, in unhealthy barracks, being furnished with only the bare necessities to prevent them from actual starvation.

The Venezia Tridentina is now actually reunited to Italy as it was under the Roman emperors, thanks to the great Italian victory of last November and to the support of the Allies. There is no doubt but that the Peace Conference will also assign her entirely to Italy, as is fair and just.
