Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the role of Giani Stuparich's home soil in his war memoir "Guerra del '15" (1931); the evolving, slippery, once familiar countryside surrounding his hometown Trieste provokes and reflects the disillusionment of a young patriot now facing the misery of life and death in WW1 trenches.
