L’Italia per la ricostituzione della Polonia: un referendum del 1915

The paper analyses the book L’Italia per la ricostituzione della Polonia, published in Rome in 1916 by the magazine L’Eloquenza. It contains both the results of the referendum and an extensive selection of articles published in that period in Italian newspapers and magazines about the complex social and political situation in Poland. The book represents an important evidence of the viewpoint of the Italian intelligentsia about the “Polish question”, as seen in the light of the political situation in Europe in the difficult years of the First World War.
