Abstract
In Renzo Renzi's 1950s short novel "L'armata S' agapò" Italian soldiers in Greece in World War II are seen in an unheroic light, being apparently more concerned with love (hence the title, "The Army of Love") than with war. Given the book's outlook and its depiction of Italian soldiers as not exactly "brava gente", according to a diffused stereotype, the book suffered from the ban of censorship and its author was even sentenced to jail.
