Books about the Italian war experience...

Good evening everyone,
Are there any books about firsthand experiences of the ordinary Italian soldier in either of the two World Wars? Obviously there's loads of American, British and German stories out there but anything about Italians in English seems to be a bit thin on the ground.
Regards,
Phil.

Phil,
I would add:
1) Toes up by Paolo Monelli. One of the few books in English re an Alpini in WW1.
2) Alemein - An Italian Story by Paolo Caccia Dominioni. He was an officer in the Folgore and is loosely a memoir.
Refards,
Bob
