Armellini Chiappi (Rome, 2 December 1879 – Wöllstein, 4 November 1944)[1] was an Italian general during World War II.

From October 1911 he took part, with the 63rd Infantry Regiment "Cagliari", in the Italo-Turkish War, distinguishing himself in the battle of Misrata, for which he was awarded the Bronze Medal of Military Valor.

After the end of the First World War he served in the transport delegation of Bologna, then in that of Venice and then as Chief of Staff of the Livorno Infantry Brigade.

In 1930 he was called to serve at the Command of the Central Military Schools in Civitavecchia, where he taught small arms and shooting for 4 years; he also authored books and articles on the subject.

[6][1][7] Following the proclamation of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943, he rejected the requests of the local anti-fascist committee to give weapons to the civilian population,[8][9] but sent two battalions of the 183rd Infantry Division "Ciclone" (under General Giorgio Morigi) to oppose the advance of the Germans, without success.
