Between 1940 and 1943, the South of Italy and its islands hosted 19 camps for Allied prisoners, divided into transit, concentration and labour sites. The living conditions of the enemy soldiers were often difficult, and this was because the Italian detainer was unable to comply with international regulations concerning the protection of prisoners of war. Not only that: in some circumstances, the camp leaders were blatantly hostile towards the men they held, resulting in behaviour that sometimes led to actual war crimes. The experience of Allied imprisonment is thus part of the broad debate on the re-evaluation of the Italians’ role in the war.
