81st Infantry Regiment passes the Piave Vecchia
The story
Soldiers of the Italian 81st Infantry Regiment cross the flooded Piave Vecchia river. Dated 24 June 1918, in the closing year of the First World War, the scene crackles with urgency. Sartorio painted it from direct experience on the front line.
