Jeff, we are interested in WW2 for several reasons, but those who lived it often did not grasp the significance of their personal experiences, especially if they were mere soldiers or not involved in important battles. Maybe, in the late XXI century our grandsons will regret that we have not kept a diary or written memoirs about our current times, but we have the modesty to believe that, after all, we are not Napoleon. Most of people simply don't have the time, the will or, to some extent, the arrogance to write their memoirs.
But returning to WW2 Italian soldiers, if I recall the experiences of my relatives, most of them frankly did not take part to anything which would have deserved more than a short article, a handful of pages, surely not a full book of memoirs. Maybe only a granduncle of mine got involved in interesting experiences, but they were so much interesting that... he ended MIA in Russia...
Therefore, Bandini's and Bedeschi's collections of short memoirs are probably the best format (but also daily newspapers, especially the local ones, have been full of interviews and sometimes memoirs and letters from veterans, usually when they were very old in the Nineties or 2000s), because they are more coherent with the relative lack of interest of most of WW2 lives. And, after all, the Chinese say "may you live in interesting times" is a curse, not a greeting.
