At the beginning of the First World War, many Italian emigrants, especially in South America, felt that Italy was in the throes of falling into the hands of the Austro-Hungarian empire. When King Vittorio Emanuele II decides to wage war on this empire, these emigrants, forced to leave Italy years before, join the army. Among them, the future mayor of New York Fiorello La Guardia. He is the Virgil of this unknown history.
The year is 1918, Veneto, Italy. A member of the Italian-American Congress goes to the Italian pilot center to fight alongside the aviators aboard the new Caproni hunters. His name will remain in history: it's Fiorello La Guardia, future mayor of New York. But La Guardia is not the only immigrant of Italian origin to serve the front: beside him there are volunteers from all over the world to pay homage to their roots.
