The book "Recovering and Recycling of the Two World Wars" is the illustrated continuation of "The Recyclers of the Gothic Line". Recover, recycle, reuse are terms that have become commonplace today. Post-industrial society in the West is learning slowly not to waste to preserve and recycle.

In Italy, the birth of this recycle and reuse can be attributed to the second post-war of the 1900s when, by necessity, it was so poor that the ingenuity had to fill the infinite deficiencies.

Farmers, artisans, housewives and kids recycled what the war had left on the battlefields.

War objects are transformed into peace instruments in reconstruction Italy.

The images document 200 new reuses extending the survey to many recycles of the First World War.
