In August 1916, Gorizia was occupied by Italian troops for the first time in its history, but in November 1917 the Austro-Hungarian Army threw the Italian forces back in the Battle of Caporetto.
Augustis 1916 okupeeriti Gorizia Itaalia vägede poolt esimest korda selle ajaloos, kuid novembris 1917 ajas Austria-Ungari armee Caporetto lahingus Itaalia väed tagasi.
