The Profile

Italian author (1921–2008) from Asiago, known for memoirs about his WWII experience as an Alpini and for writings on mountain life.

Born in Asiago; served with the Alpini and survived the Russian campaign. Central themes in his work include war, longing for home, and mountain life.

Reviews emphasize Rigoni Stern's firsthand account of the Italian retreat from Russia, the anguish and obsession with returning home, and his simple, dialectal narrative voice. Readers value the humane perspective and refusal of rhetoric. The books discussed are Il Sergente Nella Neve and L'Ultima Partita A Carte.
