The figure of Giovanni Chiassi, a valorous Garibaldian patriot, returns to the center of historical discourse in a lecture dedicated to his legacy. In Castiglione delle Stiviere, on July 21st, 2026, the key moments of the Battle of Bezzecca will be retraced, the pivotal event that marked the colonel’s ultimate sacrifice in 1866.
The meeting, organized by the Vivere il Risorgimento APS Association, will feature insights from Fabio Bassanetti and historian Marco Pettenati. Through a rigorous bio-historical analysis, the discussion will explore not only the colonel’s tactical role during the famous battle but also the development of the cult of memory that inextricably links Chiassi’s name to his hometown. The collaboration with the Garibaldian and Great War Museum of Bezzecca enriches this study, offering a unique perspective on the ideals that fueled the Italian Risorgimento.
