Italy asks her King Victor Emmanuel when she can don her military garb. Allied to Germany and Austria-Hungary, Italy declared neutrality on August 3, 1914. Not yet having recovered from its war with Turkey over Libya, Italy delayed until joining the Entente Allies on May 23, 1915. The government of Prime Minister Antonio Salandra required the King's approval for the declaration of war. Postcard by Aurelio Bertiglia. |
