Abstract
<p><em>“Delia. Diario di guerra</em> was penned in Italian by Francesco D’Urbano (1920-1967) during WWII.</p>
<p>The diary’s cover is made of brown cardboard, with visible creases and signs of wear. Its first page is titled “Diario di Guerra” (War Diary), and below the title it reads “Fronte Cirenaica” (Cyrenaica Front) and “Zona d’ Operazioni” (Operational Zone). We can see a drawing of a helmet with a bayonet below it. Surrounding the name and the illustration, there are several official stamps. Its material, condition, and the story this diary tells reveal the various networks of relationships it has touched and connected through time.”</p>
