John Chester: Cesari Battisti — Traitor or Martyr?

Speaker: John Chester

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.
