Marc Spagnuolo Biography & Facts
The revolt of Montefalcione was a popular pro-Bourbon insurrection that occurred between July 6 and 10, 1861, which had Montefalcione as its epicenter, as well as spreading to several neighboring towns and villages. The anti-unification unrest that shook the territory of Irpinia in those days was characterized by bloody fighting and acts of hostility, perpetrated by both factions involved. These acts culminated in a massacre, carried out in the town of Montemiletto and its surroundings by contingents of the Hungarian Legion and the Royal Italian Army, through the summary killing, for the purpose of repression and reprisal, of a number of rioters and civilians varying, according to sources, between 97 and 150. Among them, Giuseppe D'Amore, a boy who was only thirteen years old, was also shot. Background First revolt of Montemiletto In September 1860, about a month before the holding of the annexation plebiscites, while the territory of the Campanian provinces was affected by the events related to Garibaldi's campaign in the south of Italy's mainland and the imminent entry of regular troops of the Piedmontese army, most of the populations of Montemiletto, Torre Le Nocelle and Pietradefusi rose up in arms against the pro-Unitarian forces to restore the authority of Francis II, railing against the liberal families in the area. In Montemiletto, the action of liberal groups led to the overthrow of Bourbon institutions: on the night of September 5, some pro-Unitarian veterans of the Ariano insurrection, including Carmine Tarantino, a captain of the National Guard and professor at the Royal High School, entered the town. Receiving the support of Giuseppe Fierimonte, leader of the liberals and captain of the local National Guard, Tarantino and his men, extolling Garibaldi, headed for the local telegraph post, cutting its wires and isolating it. The group then placed under arrest the Urban Guard militiamen who had resisted the taking of the town. The action of the pro-Unitarian forces led to turmoil and agitation among the legitimist population: at dawn on September 6, the sound of the tofa, a sea shell used as a horn of call, summoned the peasants of the countryside surrounding Montemiletto to prepare to fight back. In the evening, ringing bells accompanied the village uprising, which was led by Matteo Lanzilli of Montemiletto and Carmine Ardolino of Torre Le Nocelle. Armed with rifles and rural tools, the commoners penetrated Giuseppe Fieramonte's palace, killing him with axes and shotguns. Other liberals perished: Domenico Colletti and his son, Angelo Leone, brother of the archpriest, Raffaele La Porta, Pellegrino Meola and his son, some members of the Pesa family, and other liberals from Aiello and Montaperto returning from the Ariano expedition. Giacinto de' Sivo reports that the bodies of the liberals were laid out on the telegraph pylons that they had torn down the previous day. According to some sources, a total of 23 liberals were killed and the homes of many landowners were looted. The following day the legitimists moved toward Torre Le Nocelle and "to the sound of drums and with white flags, shouting Long Live Francis II." They went through the streets of the town, hunting down the liberals: three of them, Pasquale Rotondi, Carmine Rotondi and Baldassare Rotondi, were killed. On the morning of the 7th, Bourbon soldiers on horseback set out from Avellino for Montemiletto, but were recalled by General Scotti and driven back. At the same time, Garibaldian troops entered the town of Irpinia, putting it back under the Unitarian forces, repressing and arresting the rioters, with the intention of "exacting revenge" on the population, in the words of historian de' Sivo. On the same day, Garibaldi entered Naples. The uprising resulted in more than five hundred indicted, and nearly four hundred arrests. In Dentecane, a jury was set up, with the task of judging those arrested and executing among them the "instigators of public order by seditious actions." The special court was dissolved on October 27, 1860 by an act of Minister of Grace and Justice Pasquale Scura, countersigned by prodictator Giorgio Pallavicino, and the jurisdiction was transferred to the ordinary courts. In mid-September Garibaldi sent J. R. Wolfe, in his capacity as "Surgeon of the General Staff" to the area to treat the wounded of Ariano and Montemiletto, who had a grim impression of the living conditions of many families, and on September 18 he opened a subscription to which he called on Neapolitans to contribute "so that you may wish with offerings to help those unhappy fellow citizens of yours who have paid such a high price for your present joy." To escape capture, many rioters had gone into hiding, taking refuge in the woods between Montefalcione, Montemiletto, Lapio, Chiusano and Montaperto, as well as in the mountains of Volturara, Sorbo and Salza. The formation of rebel groups These first groups of insurgents, later enlarged by other fugitives, began to organize militarily also due to the presence among them of former soldiers of the Army of the Two Sicilies. The armed bands that were being formed had the more or less explicit support of the legitimist populations, receiving logistical and organizational support from numerous inhabitants of the municipalities in the area, acting as liaisons between the insurgent groups and the various towns. Two figures in particular soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, that of 25-year-old Basilio Pagliuca, who was the mastermind and military leader of the revolt, and that of 42-year-old Gaetano Maria Baldassarre. Both from prominent Montefalcione families (their respective fathers had served as mayors at different times), they were the leading figures of the resistance movement. Baldassarre, who had played a prominent role in the Montemiletto uprising of September 1860, had already been denounced on the following October 30 by Montefalcione Mayor Carlo Contrada, who had explicitly requested the authorities in Naples that the captain of the National Guard of Candida, Michele Tagle, be put on his trail. Gaetano Baldassarre was the soul of the turmoil. He and his sister Nicolina were energetic activists: they held organizational meetings, encouraged the resistance, and worked to spread insurrectional ideas by putting up political posters hostile to the Savoy government and Garibaldi as well as extolling the revolt. Also collaborating with Baldassarre was archpriest Gaetano Girone, who was similarly denounced to the authorities in Naples. The arrest warrant against Baldassarre was issued by Naples on November 1, 1860, and its execution was referred to the governor of Avellino, Giuseppe Belli, who had called Baldassarre "the fiercest leader of the rebellion that took place in Montefalcione and the massacres of Montemiletto." Baldassarre left the area in order to escape capture, and took refuge first in Capua, and then in Gaeta, where he was one of the extre.... Discover the Marc Spagnuolo popular books.
