Corriere della sera - 1916 - The Brusilov Offensive

A very rare edition of Corriere della sera, framed behind glass and wooden frame, always kept in great conditions, including the original adres label, not a reprint.

This edition is dated june 4 1916.
The first day of the Brusilov Offence during WW1.
Which of course, made the front page.

The Brusilov Offensive was the largest Russian offensive on the Eastern Front in World War I. The battle took place from June 4 – September 20, 1916 and was fought between the Russian Empire on the one hand and the German Empire and Austria-Hungary on the other. The offensive can be seen as the biggest Russian victory in the First World War, but also the most expensive in terms of human lives.
