Jean César Graziani

Jean César Graziani (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ sezaʁ ɡʁazjani]; Bastia, Corsica, 15 November 1859 – Paris, 8 February 1932) was a Corsican French Army general who served in World War I.

[1] He started his studies at the Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr in October 1878.

In April 1917 he received field command of the 28th Division and in December 1917 of the 17th Army Corps.

Graziani thus became commander of the French troops in Italy, and helped to repulse in June the Austrian offensive during the Battle of the Piave River.

During the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, the final and decisive campaign of the theatre, the Italians gave him command of their 12th Army, with which he gained a great victory.
