Riassunto:The Italian army began World War I with a long and solid theoretical experience of mountain warfare. However, its direct experience was reduced as the only recent ones were the colonial campaigns in eastern Africa. These campaigns ended in 1896 after having offered the army a chance to operate with all of its corps and specialties, despite limited numbers and a combat field that had little to do with the Alps aside from the fact that both were mountain ranges. Temperatures were higher than in Europe and there was neither snow nor ice. Italian military experience would have to adapt to difficult combat conditions.
