They finally routed the Austrians:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;In October 1918 the Italians attacked again. The Austrian army broke, and the Italians drove deep into Austrian territory, leading to the collapse of Austria-Hungary. Fighting ended on 3 November 1918. Italy and the Allies had been victorious. Italian armed forces were also involved in the Western Front and in the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>A country that can produced the likes of Michelangelo, da Vinci, Stradivari, Fermi, Galileo, Verdi, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Marconi, Pavarotti, Marco Polo, Montessori, Andretti, St. Francis, Marcello Mastroianni, etc... can&#039;t be that bad!! Don&#039;t think a man alive or for that matter dead would leave Sophia Loren off that list that goes on and on. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t been able to find what these Italian WWI bars represented.
