More likely about how Italians always changing minds and switching sides like cowards.

You should read about this Italian vs Austro-Hungarian battles like Izonso. I think there were like 12 major assaults along the river. The Italian army was crazy brave unbelievably so, but as poorly led as they were crazy brave. Eventually they reached the breaking point and broke when the Germans applied the first use of Stosstruppen tactics. ( A young Lt Rommel was involved!). The Italian army cracked and ran, Hemingway's novel covers this retreat.

Your statement just makes you look stupid and ignorant. If you know how to read, try reading a history book. It will do you some good. Try the ones without a lot of pictures if you are capable. I bet a keyboard commando like yourself would of been something along the Isonzo River or assaulting up a sheer cliff in the Alps.
