THE LEGNANO COMBAT GROUP
1-22539020
The Legnano Infantry Division is considered the first nucleus of the co-belligerent Italian Army. As part of the First Motorized Group, it made its combat debut at Montelungo on 8 December, 1943. Five months later, this small formation was expanded, becoming the Italian Liberation Corps. Beginning in September 1944, six Italian Combat Groups, equipped with Allied weapons and materiel, were established. The Legnano Combat Group, heir of the Legnano Division, was given the responsibility of the Idice Valley sector on 23 March 1945. Commanded by General Umberto Utili, the Group participated to the liberation of Bologna and was also involved in other fights before the end of the war in Italy, the last of which took place in Val Sabbia on 2 May 1945.
