Tips

Pasquale Messina 🚴☀️🦁🇮🇹

September 4, 2024

General of the division, he was the first Italian general to enter Gorizia in 1916, at the head of the "Avellino" Brigade 231st - 232nd Infantry Regiment, made up mostly of Sicilians. Immediately after, the brigade was employed on the front line against the Austrians on Monte San Marco, Plava and Vodice, where under the leadership of Cascino it demonstrated courage and tenacity.

After the battle of Vodice, for which he was awarded the silver medal for Military Valor, Cascino was promoted to lieutenant general, head of the 8th Division, formed by the "Avellino" and "Forlì" brigades.

His next objective was the conquest of Monte Santo, of significant strategic importance in the ongoing conflict. An operation that he succeeded in after a series of assaults that caused very heavy losses.

Admired by the valor of General Cascino, Art Toscanini reached Monte Santo and directed a military band, which played hymns and patriotic songs in the face of the Austrians from 25 to 29 August 1917.
