Young men had no right to emigrate from Italy before the age of 18 unless the whole family had departed. From the list of all males eligible for the draft, a certain amount of young men were called (extracted) to actually serve the draft. This depended on eligibility and the number necessary to fulfill the draft quota of the Italian State. Therefore, the ''liste di estrazioni'' were those eligible who were actually drafted. If a young man did not present himself for the draft and was not represented at the draft call he could be declared eligible and labelled as a deserter. This happened at times to those who emigrated to North or South America and who did not return because they could be legally imprisioned for draft evasion.  
Young men had no right to emigrate from Italy before the age of 18 unless the whole family had departed. From the list of all males eligible for the draft, a certain amount of young men were called (extracted) to actually serve the draft. This depended on eligibility and the number necessary to fulfill the draft quota of the Italian State. Therefore, the ''liste di estrazioni''&nbsp;set forth the names of those draft-eligible men who were actually drafted or exempted. If a young man did not present himself for the draft and was not represented at the draft call he could be declared eligible and labelled as a deserter or accounted for because of an exemption. This happened at times to those who legally emigrated to North or South America and also to those who illegally emigrated and who did not return because they could be imprisioned for draft evasion.  


Therefore, in essence ''liste di leva'' was the list of all young men who had reached eighteen years of age and the ''liste di estrazione'', also called ''liste di arruolamento'', was a list of those who at age 21 were declared eligible to enter or were exempted from military service. The preparation of&nbsp;''liste di leva'' was eliminated in 1923 and thereafter only those of ''estrazione ''were prepared.  
Therefore, in essence the&nbsp;''liste di leva''&nbsp;are listings of all young men who had reached eighteen years of age and in essence the ''liste di estrazione'', also called ''liste di arruolamento'', are listings of those who at age 21 were declared eligible to enter into military service or who were exempted from military service.
