Pietro Pintor

Mussolini, in response to Pintor, modified his plans, calling for a total offensive only along the northern stretch of the Alpine front.

[4] Afterwards, he was the president of the Commissione Italiana d'Armistizio con la Francia (CIAF), which oversaw the implementation of the Franco-Italian Armistice, from 27 June 1940 until his death.

[6] Although he realised early that the British Empire would not capitulate to the Axis, he faithfully executed Mussolini's policy with respect to France.

[9] Pintor and fellow general Aldo Pellegrini died when their airplane crashed near Acqui Terme on its way from Rome to the CIAF headquarters in Turin.

After his death at age sixty, the Istituto Superiore di Guerra published a twenty-five page biographical pamphlet, Il generale Pietro Pintor, 1880–1940: Cenni biografici, in 1941.
