Francesco Domenico Chiarello (5 November 1898 – 27 June 2008), Knight of Vittorio Veneto, was, together with Fernand Goux of France and seaman Claude Choules of England and later Australia, one of the last three soldiers to see action in both World Wars.
Chiarello was also one of the last two surviving Italian and Alpine Front veterans of the First World War, along with fellow 110-year-old Delfino Borroni.
He spent three months in training and then served as an infantryman at Cosenza.
First sent to the front line in Trentino, he was later sent by sea from the port of Taranto to Albania.
He later married and ran his farm in Umbriatico, but in 1940 he was called up again to fight in the Second World War at Reggio Calabria, to be discharged after six months.
