A Tripoli (In Tripoli; 1911) Italian Patriotic Song about the Italian-Turkish War

Infos about the Song:
A Tripoli (In Tripoli, also known as Tripoli bel suol d'amore), is a patriotic piece of music written by Giovanni Corvetto and set to music by Colombino Arona in 1911, just before the Italo-Turkish war began. It was composed to propagate the upcoming war of the Kingdom of Italy against the Ottoman Empire, which was aimed at the conquest of Libya.
The piece was composed shortly before Italy entered the war against the Ottoman Empire. War was declared on September 29, 1911, the day after the ultimatum delivered by the Italian ambassador in Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. The intention of the Kingdom of Italy was to make Libya an Italian colony. The conflict ended on October 18, 1912 with the Italian victory.

Extra information: At that time, the Ottomans could not send soldiers to Libya because there were very few ships in the Ottoman army. The soldiers who fought there were generally Ottoman officers who came to the region secretly. They fought the Italians by organizing the local people, but eventually lost the war with the Balkan Wars.

[@denizutkukahraman1711]

Also fun fact: Before Ottoman capitulation the furthest point that the Italians reached from shore was 20km This was caused by constant hit and run attacks by Ottoman irregulars limiting supply into further inland.

[@dersven4122]

There was not much beyond those 20km though, only desert@@denizutkukahraman1711

[@poghos633]

Extra information: war was fought also in Aegean and Red Sea and Ottomans still lost with an embarrassing death ratio. Plus First Balkan War erupted literally 10 days before the armistice.

Here is a sadly ironic story of an Italian soldier named Innocenzo Bianchi. To him in the first few days invasion didn't seem to be a war at all. On a letter to his family he said “I believe it is not real war but little attacks that we will overcome... I will return home with a victory, [Turks] are not fighting, they fled to deserts.” Bianchi was killed in action 6 days later. Weird to think Italians were having such a hard time in the Libya and would have probably lost due to attrition had there been no Balkan Wars. Italian Army swiftly captured the coastal Tripolitania in a shockingly efficient landing. Then boom, deadlock, they could never break the will of the Turks no matter what, considering they often outnumbered them 4 to 1 and had superior technology. Turks would only abandon and sue for peace when the Balkan Wars broke out -which they were outnumbered and outgunned again-. During a deputy meeting, foreign minister is quoted to say “There are 2 neighbourhood fires, one in distance (Libya) and one right next to us (Balkans). We can only save one. It's only logical that we abandon the distant neighbourhood to its fate.”

Yes, we know Libya should have remained an Italian colony. You are not and will not be able to govern yourself, so your GDP is lower than Ukraine. Try to take advantage of at least the infrastructure that we have left you.

@@radec5166 you are lying right? Or are you an idiot, believe me, it would be much nicer if you were lying and you were not just ignorant of history except this degree before, even with the failed regime that ruled Libya. He wanted to live in peace. The reality is that the whole world is experiencing the same circumstances. This is something that only the ignorant will deny, just like what happened with France. France has suffered a lot in the past because of the unjust rule. France continued civil wars for seventeen years

[@bg488]

@@radec5166 And France at that time was in a worse state than Libya today, and see only France after the end of those years and reconstruction. It is the capital of beauty in the world and among the most powerful economic countries in the world. If you studied history, you would not speak of this excessive stupidity and ignorance. Educate yourself, ignorant.

You mad so much 😹😹 lybian women r4pe for centuries by everyone, turk, italians, arabes, and today terrorist syrians cause you have no gouvernement 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@bg488I repeat, you cannot know civilization. You are continually in a state of instability and confusion, I don't blame you, you were born in the bad part of the world, I hope you can leave that country. France is one of the G7 countries, in ninth place as a military power, it is part of the EU. Don't compare gold with dung.
