The war along the river Po

The war along the river Po. Snap in the Po river areas during the Second World War and Immediately After the War. By Guidorzi Simone and Mondani Carlo
During the Second World War, the powers at stake prevented the use of the camera to censor and limit the photographs; Not just those taken by official agencies,
But also those of private citizens. Despite this, many shots have arrived to this day.
Simone Guidorzi, curator of the World War II Museum of Felonica (MN) and Carlo Mondani, a scholar and researcher of Modena, have collected a large amount
Of unpublished images, for the first title of the "War in Italy" necklace.
The area concerned is that of the last line of the retired German front: the river Po, in the area between the provinces of Mantua, Modena, Ferrara and Rovigo.
It was here that the Anglo-American army concentrated the troops and laid the groundwork for giving the enemy the ultimate slack and liberating all of Northern Italy. From these territories, from these countries
Modest but decent, there are photographs that tell the war from the point of view of the poor people.

The photographic album is subdivided into chapters, in chronological order: from the pre-war period to the arrival of the conflict and the military exercises, after the 8th September the arrival of the Nazis
And the first bombings, the arrival of liberators, post-war reconstruction with the use of means abandoned by the armies.
A heterogeneous collection with extraordinary images not only military, telling very hard days and dropping the reader on the part of the civilian population, the victim of the events.
All photographs are accompanied by detailed captions, with translations in English and German.
