Filippo Maria Beltrami (14 July 1908 – 13 February 1944) was an Italian officer and Resistance leader during World War II.
He was born in Cireggio (today part of Omegna), and during his high school studies he made friends with philosophers Eugenio Colorni and Piero Martinetti, who influenced his thinking.
[1][2] After the outbreak of the Second World War, Beltrami was called up for military service and stationed as an officer in a horse artillery regiment in Lucca and Piacenza.
In the summer of 1943, after the fall of the Fascist regime, Beltrami was promoted to captain in the 27th Artillery Regiment, stationed in Baggio.
In the morning of 13 February 1944, a column composed of troops of the 12th SS Police Regiment, led by Captain Ernst Simon, and of the National Republican Guard, led by Captain Renato Vanna, attacked Beltrami's group, now down to thirteen men, in their provisional base, a group of abandoned huts near Megolo.
