Events from the year 1916 in Italy.
Italy entered World War I in May 1915, declaring war on Austria-Hungary. The Royal Italian Army stands under command of Chief of Staff and Field Marshall Luigi Cadorna. The Isonzo is the main battlefield on the Italian Front. The goal of these offensives was the fortress of Gorizia, the capture of which would permit the Italian armies to pivot south and march on Trieste. The frequency of offensives, one every three months, was higher than demanded by the armies on the Western Front. Italian discipline was also harsher, with punishments for infractions of duty of a severity not known in the German, French, and British armies.
