Brigade Catanzaro. The story of a heroic military unit that was born in Catanzaro bravely contributed to the victory of Italy during the First World War (Part Three)
P erò, quando la fama incominciò a diffondersi e a divulgare il loro valore e la loro audacia ; quando si videro quei forti campioni muovere decisamente e costantemente all’assalto sanguinoso di posizioni inespugnabili; quando infine seppe l’ecatombe offerta dal popolo dell’Italia negletta, allora in tutto il Paese nostro si levò una voce concorde di ammirazione e di plauso e si benedirono quelle coorti di giovani dalla salda fede e dal fervido entusiasmo” .
The episode earned the following quotation on the Bulletin of War on May 29 1916 n.369, signed by Gen. Cadorna: "the plateau, our troops are currently occupying, affermandovisi, stations dominating the valley of Asiago. A brilliant counterattack by 141 brave infantry regiment (brigade Catanzaro) released two batteries remained surrounded on M. Mosciagh, completely worn except in pieces ". The matter was taken up by the national press of the time so it deserves the front page on Sunday that the Courier with a nice illustration of A. Beltrame all Italy became known as "A brilliant counterattack Calabrian brave the 141 ° Infantry releases two batteries remained on the mountain surrounded Mosciagh ".

Numerosissime furono le località che videro in azione i Reggimenti della Brigata “Catanzaro”, ma, sicuramente, una menzione particolare la merita il Monte Mosciagh. Questo monte fu scenario di aspre lotte nelle quali la Brigata fu decimata, [9] e legò indissolubilmente il proprio al nome del 141° dopo l’operazione del 27 maggio 1916. La stessa si svolse in un momento molto difficile del conflitto e portò il 141° Fanteria agli onori della cronaca ed ebbe echo across the nation.
Our soldiers recovered several pieces of artillery from a position still held by the Austrians on the summit of the mountain, and after about two hours of bayonet attacks, they managed to finally kick the enemy positions from the first conquests ultimately also the equipment.
The episode earned the following quotation on the Bulletin of War on May 29 1916 n.369, signed by Gen. Cadorna: "the plateau, our troops are currently occupying, affermandovisi, stations dominating the valley of Asiago.

Beltrame all Italy became known as "A brilliant counterattack Calabrian brave the 141 ° Infantry releases two batteries remained on the mountain surrounded Mosciagh ". From this glorious feat of arms took out the 141 ° from what then was his motto: "Su Monte Mosciagh bayonet recovered the gun" .
Between the pages of the history of the Brigade Catanzaro, however, there are some of the saddest of all history of our army. It was May 27, 1916 and the Brigade had been transferred a few days the plateau. The tragic events that culminated in the shooting of 12 soldiers took place on the slopes of Mosciagh and were the result of slip in difficult conditions of almost the entire 4 a company of 141 °. Col. Attilio Thermes, commander of the regiment, in accordance with instructions from the Supreme Command, ordered the summary execution without trial for a second lieutenant, three sergeants and eight enlisted men to be extracted a sorte nella ragione di uno a dieci. Per questo ordine il Col. Thermes fu il primo ufficiale italiano ad essere citato in un Ordine del giorno del Comando Supremo [10] e questo non per un glorioso fatto d’arme ma per aver fatto fucilare i propri soldati! In realtà la brigata si comportò piuttosto bene nei combattimenti di quei difficili giorni e non meritava un tale trattamento, dovuto in buona parte al fatto che i successi austro-ungarici facevano perdere la testa ai comandi.

La Gioconda (Mona Lisa) might be Calabrese
S ccording to historian Giuseppe Pisano many links exist between the Mona Lisa and Calabria, to start it seems certain that his name was Mona Lisa or Geraldini Ghererdini.

Pisano recalls last a mysterious painting by an unknown secure Lake in Calabria, after careful study it is assumed to be a work of Leonardo da Vinci, there are also some specific references to the Templars on the subject. Unfortunately when it comes to meridone and Calabria in particular, sugestive these findings are not news, even the various institutions will cut the legs, fully aware that cut the legs to the history of our region. While when it comes to listening to you all Ndrangheta mafia, doing a lot of money if you write books on the subject, while the historical research on the past, almost no interest to anyone.
