Abstract

This article presents the novella Alla salute! by Luigi Pirandello, which was written over a century ago but soon went missing. It had originally appeared in 1917 in the periodical «L’Idea Nazionale» but was never republished or referenced in bibliographies. Taking a patriotic and propagandizing stance toward the purchase of war bonds via the Prestito Nazionale [National Loan], the work presents characteristics that are not to be found in any of Pirandello’s other known war stories, thereby offering new material for understanding the author’s positions and his political views. The appendix contains an unabridged version of Alla salute!
