Cesari Battisti — Traitor or Martyr?

Speaker: John Chester
Cannoni 105 28 Al Doss Trento

The story of the Austrian politician who fought for the Italians and his subsequent capture, his trial and his execution with two friends. A somewhat different talk, the details of Cesari’s life and his execution capture the imagination. It also raises several interesting questions and looks at the Battisti Memorial in Trento.

Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
