Military diaries
Each Italian military unit was obligated to keep a daily diary in order to report the main events. This was edited by the highest ranking officer. Often, in these diaries, there are also notes on climate, weather conditions, and temperature. Today, all of these diaries (at least those that have been delivered – in fact sometimes a few months are missing) are kept in the archive of the Ufficio Storico dello Stato Maggiore, in Rome. As far as the Three Peaks sector is concerned, the diaries consulted are as follows:
