Could anyone post some more information on the resistance movements in Italy? At least some basic facts and figures would do. It would be both interesting and useful for resolution of conflict with User:CVA at Talk:Partisan. What were the numbers of the movement members? Was it one organization or several minor ones? Were there any battles there? What happened to those who participated in the movement? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 18:14, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)

I provide at least a link to the Italian article. Some of the proposed information is there. MGTom 12:50, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)

[edit] Cossacs in Carnia: a red herring against common struggle of Italian and Slovenian Resistance movements

The story about the Cossacs in Carnia (deleted from text) seems to me pure fiction. In broad terms, the history as lived and written is different: it was the Yugoslav (Slovenian & other) partisans that fought the last battles on the southern front (May 15. 1945 a large gen. Loehr-s army ) was captured by Slovenian partisans much more to the east than Carnia. Please provide references for the Cossac story, better still on the whole final operations of WWII in Northern Italy! MGTom 12:50, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)

If you can read Italian, you can find many sites on Google, for example this one: http://www.carnialibera1944.it/zonalibera/repubblicapartigiana_3.htm. GhePeU 19:20, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question about edit made to Cossack section

In the following line, I changed "and promised" to "they were promised", which seemed to be the sense meant. Is this correct? "In the valley of Carnia, anti-Communist forces from the Soviet Union under the command of ataman Domanov were used; they were promised the establishment of a Cossack republic in northeastern Italy, to be called Kosakenland."

First time I hear this story, but it could even be true (if it is, it just shows how silly the Cossacks were in believing Hitler). However, the importance of this bizarre detail approaches zero in an article on the Italian resistance movement and I'd delete it. --MauroVan 08:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

It IS true, for bewildering it may appear, the Nazis just tried to settle Cossacks... in Carnia. Basil II 19:32, 9 January 2008 (CET)

I too have heard these stories from my grandparents, among others, and have seen pictures of Cossaks in my town... apparently they were to settle in Glemona, some sources indicate that as many as 50,000 had been transferred to Friul by occupying German forces... review history of Friul for more detail, particularly material written in Friulian, or in Italian, by Friulian authorsSonyda (talk) 19:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Women in the resistance

I have changed a couple of lines to give more emphasis to the work of women in the Italian resistance, but I do think it deserves a section on its own. I found a couple of good reviews and websites: [1] The best Italian website is [2]. I know we are not supposed to copy copyrighted material or quote in foreign language, or do any original research, but how does it work in wikipedia for translating material from other sites? As for instance, from here: [3]Ninarosa 01:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cervi family

This passage was added to the anti-fascism page, but I felt it better placed here. However, I am not expert enough to do it properly:

In the italian Emilia-Romagna region, during the end of the Second World War (period that is also known in Italy as the Italian Resistance) the home of the big Cervi family became a point of meeting for a big group of partizans, the band comprehended the seven Cervi brothers (Aldo, Ferdinando, Gelindo, Antenore, Agostino, Ettore and Ovidio) with their father Alcide helped by lots of other relatives and friends, they were responsible of a big amount of anti-fascistic action and they all were caught and executed by the Fascist regime the 28 December 1943.
