The First World War in the Mediterranean was a largely frustrating experience for the Allies. Their strategic and political differences hindered mutual cooperation. In this context, the Italian role has been badly overlooked by non-Italian historians. Italian historians, on their part, essentially focused on the Adriatic campaign, largely ignoring Italy’s war outside the Adriatic, as well as the Allied contribution to it. I aim to offer a fresh perspective of the war in the Mediterranean by looking at Italy’s role in the Allied naval strategy with a comparative approach, using new material made available by the Italian Navy Archive.

This is an important reassessment of British and Italian grand strategies during the First World War. Stefano Marcuzzi sheds new light on a hitherto overlooked but central aspect of Britain and Italy's war experiences: the uneasy and only partial overlap between Britain's strategy for imperial defence and Italy's ambition for imperial expansion. Taking Anglo-Italian bilateral relations as a special lens through which to understand the workings of the Entente in World War I, he reveals how the ups-and-downs of that relationship influenced and shaped Allied grand strategy. Marcuzzi considers three main issues – war aims, war strategy and peace-making – and examines how, under the pressure of divergent interests and wartime events, the Anglo-Italian 'traditional friendship' turned increasingly into competition by the end of the war, casting a shadow on Anglo-Italian relations both at the Peace Conference and in the interwar period.
