THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN ITALIAN LITERATURE: FRANCO BELLO AND HIS SERBIAN HEROES Summary This paper deals with Serbian themes related to the Balkan wars and the First World War that are present in the works of Italian author Franco Bello, specifically in the novel L’eroina della Serbia. Romanzo patriotico ([Heroine from Serbia. Patriotic novel] Milano: Casa Editrice Bietti, 1913) and the drama L’eroe della Serbia. Dramma in 3 atti ([Hero from Serbia. Drama in Three Acts] Vicenza: Libreria Editrice Giovanni Gallo, 1915). These works of popular literature appeared on the market in Italy at the time when „light-literature‟ was just beginning to form a readership of its own.
