Italy General of Brigade Alphonso Moretti

[MJC]

I am researching Brigadier General Alphonso Morretti and I am hopeful that some forum members can add some information to the topic.

~Born in Naples 1892;

~Served for years on the Austrian Front from 1915-1918 and wounded in combat;

~Promoted to Brigadier in 1938;

~Believed to have served in Ethiopia, Libya, and possibly Sudan;

~Believed to have commanded a Motorized Regiment;

~Surrendered to Germans in Yugoslavia in 1943;

~Died in Naples in 1958

This data comes from various sources and should be considered suspect until independently proven.

I would be appreciative if a member can add to this narrative, even if just to confirm or deny what I already have.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi Mike,

First of all the correct spelling of the name is Alfonso Moretti. This family name is from the Northern part of Italy and there are no Morretti (with two R). Alfonso spells it in Italian with one "f" instead of the "ph" (like in French or other European languages).

I couldn't find anything on internet, but on the correct spelling of his name I am quite positive. Moretti is quite a common last name.

Ciao,

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for your insight. Even with the correct spelling of his name, he is still a difficult subject to research.

Cheers!
