Cervi Brothers
The Cervi Brothers (Italian: ''Fratelli Cervi'') were the seven sons of Alcide Cervi (1875-1970) and Genoeffa Cocconi (1876-1944), born in Campegine, Emilia-Romagna. The brothers and their father became renowned for their activities in the organized resistance to Italian fascism. After the Italian Social Republic was founded by Benito Mussolini in the north of Italy, the brothers were among many members of the resistance that suffered a crackdown by the fascist authorities. In November 1943, their house was surrounded by military forces and they surrendered after running out of ammunition during the ensuing firefight. They were taken to prison in the nearby city of Reggio Emilia along with their father. In December, a fascist secretary was killed by a lone gunman in Bagnolo in Piano. In retaliation, all seven Cervi brothers, along with Quarto Camurri, were taken to the shooting range in Reggio Emilia and shot. Alcide Cervi, who was suffering from bad health, was able to escape s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Silver Medal Of Military Valor
The Silver Medal of Military Valor ( it, Medaglia d'argento al valor militare) is an Italian medal for gallantry. Italian medals for valor were first instituted by Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia on 21 May 1793, with a gold medal, and, below it, a silver medal. These were intended for junior officers or common soldiers who had distinguished themselves in combat. These medals fell into disuse during the period of Napoleonic domination. They were reinstated on 1 April 1815, by Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia, who, however, abolished them only a few months later, on 4 August 1815, replacing them with the Military Order of Savoy (l'Ordine militare di Savoia), now known as the Military Order of Italy. However, in 1833, Charles Albert of Sardinia, recognizing that the Military Order was too exclusive in that it could only be awarded to persons of high rank, re-instituted the medals for valor (gold and silver) as awards for noble acts performed by soldiers in both war and peace.
