Giovanni Zanghieri (24 December 1881 – 5 October 1959) was an Italian Lieutenant General who served during the Second World War from 1940 to 1943.
Zanghieri was Commandant of the Central Artillery School between 1934 and 1937 and then Director of the Military Chemical Services.
In June 1942, Zanghieri and his II Corps were sent to the Russian front as part of the 8th Italian Army.
In 1943, the Corps withdrew further in the direction of Gomel, pursued by Soviet Cavalry.
[1] Kurt von Tippelskirch, German liaison officer to the Italian 8th Army, didn't have a very high opinion of Zanghieri.
