| Manfredo Fanti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (592 words) |
 | Manfredo Fanti (1806 - April 5, 1865), Italian general, was born at Carpi and educated at the military college of Modena. |
| In the second of the Italian Independence wars, in 1859, Fanti commanded the 2nd division, and contributed to the victories of Palestro, Magenta and San Martino. |
| He showed statesmanlike qualities in steering a clear course between the exaggerated prudence of Baron Ricasoli, who wished to recall the troops from the frontier, and the impetuosity of Garibaldi, his second-in-command, who was anxious to invade Romagna prematurely, even at the risk of Austrian intervention. |
