Alfonso Torelli (11 November 1856 – 16 September 1913) was an Italian General who was killed in a battle against Libyan rebels.
He first attended the College of Nobles in Naples, and then admitted to the military academy in Turin in 1875, becoming a sublieutenant of artillery in 1878.
By 1887, he was a captain in the expedition of the aged General San Marzano in the East African war in Eritrea; this conflict had been reanimated after the defeat at Battle of Dogali.
In the period after the Italo-Turkish War, the Italians began to consolidate their control over non-coastal areas battling the local inhabitants.
Alfonso led in mid-April 1913 some battles around Bengazi, including a successful assault on a summit in Regima, obtaining a second silver medal.
