As Trentini natives, our ancestors likely faced the same dilemmas and
trials as other Trentini natives. At this time, the only known participant was Giovanbattista Mattivi. He reported to the
Austrian Army around 1916 and was subsequently killed on the Russian
front. Whether he served out of will or fear is unknown. A family
anecdote, provides that one cause of Ben's immigration to the United
States was to avoid the possibility of fighting against his
brothers.
