Benvenuto "Nuto" Revelli (21 July 1919, Cuneo, Piedmont – 5 February 2004) was an Italian essayist and partisan. Revelli was a freshly commissioned second lieutenant when, on 21 July 1942, he left Italy on one of the two hundred troop trains sent to the Eastern Front by Mussolini as the Italian Army in Russia (ARMIR). On 19 September 1942 Revelli was wounded in an action which earned him a Silver Medal of Military Valor and a promotion to lieutenant, returning to the frontline after recovering in the hospital of Dnepropetrovsk. Between mid-December 1942 and mid-January 1943, the Red Army broke through the Italian lines on the Don in Operation Little Saturn, encircling the Alpine Army Corps of which Revelli's 2nd Alpine Division "Tridentina" was part. During the subsequent retreat, tens of thousands of men fell in combat to break out of the pocket, succumbed to frostbite and exhaustion, or were captured and died in Soviet captivity.
