Per la prima volta, e « in via di esperimento », il comando militare aveva finalmente permesso ad alcuni giornalisti, accuratamente scelti, di accedere a ridosso delle prime linee. I suoi reportages giornalistici – raccolti in volume già in quello stesso 1915 – pur segnati da silenzi censori e dal rispetto dei ‘bollettini ufficiali’, appaiono un significativo esempio di calibrata scrittura degli eventi di guerra e offrono importanti riflessioni sul ruolo dello scrittore nel periodo bellico. #### Massimo Bontempelli found his way to the First World War battlefield between August and September 1915 as a war correspondent for the national newspaper « Il Messaggero ». It was the first time that the Italian military command allowed a few selected journalists to reach the battlefront for what was considered « an experiment ». By the end of 1915 Bontempelli’s reports were collected and published in a book. Even if limited by military censorship and by the need to be consistent with war bulletins, his battle reports are relevant for their measured writing style. They also contain important considerations on the task and function of a writer in times of war.

The following Master thesis concerns Antonio Cornazzano's Dell'arte militare, a text by a courtier of Piacenza who was at the service of respectively the Sforza family, Bartolomeo Colleoni and the Este family in the second half of the fifteenth Century. In addition to a general analysis of Cornazzano's treatise, including a broad survey of its style, its history and its contents, the following study aims both to depict the image of the ideal condottiero as the author conceived it, and to illustrate the technique to construct this model. A major part of this work is involved in the analysis of primary sources, both ancient and medieval. An examination of Cornazzano's interpretation, use and identification of these sources will be conducted to understand how the author elaborated and developed his model of the condottiero ideale. This process encompasses a comparative study of the different use of the ancient sources with two further treatises of the XV and XVI Centuries: the De re militari by Valturio and the Dell'arte della guerra by Machiavelli. Additionally, the study will focus on the figure of the exemplary leader as well as on the process of its formation regarding the various works.
