Giulio Bedeschi (Arzignano, 31 January 1915 – Verona, 29 December 1990) was an Italian writer and Army officer during World War II, best known for his book Centomila gavette di ghiaccio, one of the most famous memoirs of the Italian campaign in Russia.

He was later transferred to the 13th Battery of the "Conegliano" Artillery Group, 3rd Mountain Artillery Regiment, 3rd Alpine Division "Julia", with which he participated in the Italian campaign on the Eastern Front, being among the survivors of the retreat of the ARMIR in January 1943.

[1][2] After the armistice of Cassibile he joined the Italian Social Republic, becoming federal secretary of the Republican Fascist Party of Forlì and commanding the 25th Black Brigade "Arturo Capanni", based in the same city.

The end of the war found his unit deployed in the Thiene area and engaged against the local Resistance; after dissolving his brigade in Vicenza, he went into hiding and temporarily moved to Sicily, where he spent the early postwar years away from the political violence and "score-settling" between former partisans and Fascists.

The Provincial Commission of Forlì for sanctions against politically dangerous fascists judged him a "politically dangerous fascist" and on 24 April 1946 it summoned him for questioning, but he did not comply and was consequently deprived of active and passive voting rights for ten years.
