The press of then-neutral Italy published a few articles on the events of the truce , usually reporting the articles of the foreign press . On 30 December 1914 , '' Corriere della Sera '' printed a report about a fraternization between the opposing trenches . The Florentine newspaper '' La Nazione '' published a first-hand account about a football match played in the no man 's land . In Italy , the lack of interest in the truce probably depended on the occurrence of other events , such as the Italian occupation of Vlorë , the debut of the Garibaldi Legion on the front of the Argonne and , finally , the earthquake in Avezzano
