The Epic Fight At Col Della Berretta (colour litho)
2808645 The Epic Fight At Col Della Berretta (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Epic Fight At Col Della Berretta... The defenders, isolated by a very violent ban fire, should perhaps have ended up succumbing to the numbers and violence of the attackers, if their ups, Proud Sicilians of the Cow and Glorious Aosta Brigade (5th and 6th Infantry Regiments), Departments of the 94th Infantry (Messina Brigade) and the Val Brenta Alpine Battalion had not rushed promptly. Crossing the mortal zone with impetus, our good troops swooped with irresistible impetus on the opponent and, overwhelmed him, forced him to withdraw with very serious losses, leaving prisoners.
