Summary:
“The silly sods think they’re all being shipped to Austria. They’ll get one hell of a shock when they end up in Australia!”
Carlo Minelli is going to discover that war and art aren’t mutually special. His politically ambitious father is thoroughly curating Carlo’s upcoming at the family’s Lombardy vineyard. But Carlo and his creative mother have additional ideas. On the day they are meant to take up a highly coveted art scholarship at
the French-run Villa Medici in Rome, Il Duce declares war. Carlo is certainly turned from the greatly guarded entrance to the Villa, leaving him neither a student nor gainfully employed in support of the war effort.
Press-ganged in to the Italian Army and captured in North Africa, Carlo the POW sketches and paints his way across three continents and several oceans, bringing the hardships of World War II into razor-sharp relief against unforeseen mateship, beauty and love.
