The Defeat: new single pre-release /2

Yesterday, in Rome, a man started shooting with a gun. He wanted to hit some of our politicians, but he ended up seriously wounding a policeman instead.

During the last decades of the 19th century, all of the european countries had signed various treaties about mutual military support in case a conflict should occur, so this war declaration obliged everyone to set foot on the battlefield.

At that time, some countries were still on stand by. Among them, Italy…
