The 160th Anniversary of the Charge at Gazoldo by the Lancieri di Foggia

On September 12, 2026, Gazoldo degli Ippoliti serves as the stage for a historical reflection of profound significance. To mark the 160th anniversary of the famous Charge at Gazoldo by the Lancieri di Foggia, the town hosts a conference dedicated to one of the most notable episodes of the Third War of Independence.

The event, titled The clash of arms at Gazoldo and the siege of Borgoforte in the context of the Third War of National Independence – 1866, aims to reconstruct the military and political dynamics that shaped the region with academic rigor. The proceedings will be led by prominent institutional and historical figures, including Carlo Bottani, President of the Province of Mantua, and Claudio Pedrollo, Mayor of Gazoldo degli Ippoliti. Contributions from historians Enzo Baiocchi, Umberto Bardini, and Carlo Saletti will provide a clear and insightful perspective on a pivotal moment for the nation’s identity. It is a valuable opportunity to rediscover the historical roots that link the Mantua area to the broader context of the Italian Risorgimento.
