D. Francesco Bruno, Commander of the “Acqui” Division, the editorial works were presented. In particular, the first book describes how the Soldiers, Sailors, Carabinieri and Financiers of Acqui did not give up and decided to fight to the point of sacrificing their own lives. In the second, the questions that still remain unsolved today were explored in depth, among these, the objectives of General Gandin, the role of the officers who led the Division to refuse the disarmament order and the reasons why the adversaries did not take prisoners.
