Cesare Battisti and the Trentino

(Feb. 4, 1875—July 12, 1916)


A sketch of his life, character and ideals

by Dr. Giovanni Lorenzoni of Trento


with an appendix on the Venezia Tridentina
thirteen illustrations and one map







"O Italy, thy martyrs are our own,
And the whole world's redeemed again by Love.
Nothing more sacred is than life, except
The joy of its surrender. Mother of grief,
Help us to forget not what it cost to write
In blood across thy borderland the words
'Italia Redenta'"

the author from
his poem "Italia
Redenta"
