Memories of a war correspondent "; "Armed Forces of RSI on the eastern front"; "Armed Forces of RSI on the Western Front"; "Armed Forces of RSI on the Gothic Line"; "Alpini in the City of Rijeka 1944-1945". For the Trentino Modeling Group he published "The armed forces of RSI 1943-1945. Land forces ".
The present study intends to fill, or at least try to partially fill, a gap in the artillery equipment present in the Departments of the Armed Forces of the Italian Social Republic. This is a difficult subject to evaluate since, with the exception of the four Divisions trained in Germany and equipped on the basis of well-defined armament tables, all the Departments that fought under the flag of RSI, did not have a battle order defined by tables. of armament, but they were rather armed with what they had found or recovered during the months of reconstruction.
