Reginaldo Giuliani

In 1926 Father Giuliani wrote a book about his experience in World War I entitled "The Arditi".

The book was published in Milan by Fratelli Treves Editori and included a brief History of the Third Army Corps Arditi.

The citation concludes: "A blow of a scimitar, brandished by a barbarian hand, cut short his terrestrial existence: ending the life of an apostle and beginning that of a martyr.

"[1] In 1937 the book, "the Cross and Sword" with his letters and articles written during the Ethiopian campaign was published in Turin.

Roberto Rossellini's movie, The Man with a Cross, released in 1943, was loosely based on Reginaldo Giuliani's life.
