==Biography== |
|||
===Military career=== |
|||
Born in [[Verbania|Intra]] on the shores of Lake Maggiore in relative poverty, before the unification of Italy, Luigi Capello revealed a very strong personality that allowed him to bypass numerous social prejudices. Commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1878, he later attended the War School. Capello became a colonel in 1910 and commanded the 50th Infantry Regiment, Parma Brigade. With the rank of major general, he then assumed command of the "Abruzzi" Brigade assigned to Libya during the [[Italo-Turkish War]] where he had command of a brigade in the 4th Special Division of General Ferruccio Trombi, taking part in fights in the [[Derna, Libya|Derna sector]]. Promoted to lieutenant general in 1914 he commanded the 25th division (Cagliari) and then with the entry into the World War 1 of Italy, which took place on 24 May 1915, he was assigned to the [[Third Army (Italy)|3rd Army]].<ref>Enciclopedia Militare, Il Popolo d'Italia, Milano. Vol. II</ref> He commanded the 25th Division of the XIII Corps. |
|||
He took part in the battles on the [[Karst Plateau (Italy-Slovenia)|Karst Plateau]] until being promoted to Lieutenant General on 28 September 1915. He then commanded the VI Army Corps facing Gorizia and the heights of [[Podgora (hill)|Podgora]] and of [[Sabotin]]o. Despite the numerous offensives made during the third and fourth Battles of the Isonzo, the Austrian counteroffensives stymied the best efforts of the Italians. However, his great ambition helped him to be initially successful during the First World War achieving victory in the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo, with the conquest of the city of Gorizia.<ref>Alessandro Gualtieri, The General of Caporetto, 25 April 2009</ref> This was the first Italian victory of any substance and one that caused Capello's star to shine. The general was subsequently the subject of much envy, including that of General Cadorna.<ref>See Andrea Argenio: [https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/capello_luigi/ Capello, Luigi], in: [https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/home.html/ 1914-1918-online. International Encyclopedia of the First World War]</ref> |
|||
Thanks to the conquest of Gorizia, Capello gained great popularity, both among the lower classes and among the Italian media. From here his career experienced a clear push upwards. Now Cadorna viewed Capello as a serious rival, and on 7 September 1916, he was transferred to the command of the XXIII Army Corps.<ref>See Argenio, Encyclopedia</ref> Subsequently, Capello was given command of the V Corps of the First Army and was recalled to the Isonzo Front, where he was commander of the Gorizia sector. It was from Gorizia that he organized the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo for the control of the heights around Gorizia. He was given the command of the 2nd Army (at Isonzo) in June 1917 which led to the conquest of [[Bainsizza]] in the eleventh offensive in that sector. Bainsizza was another Italian “victory”, which now served the belief that the sole successes achieved by the Italian army both bore Capello's imprint. |
|||
He commanded as many as nine army corps (between Monte Rombon and [[Vipacco]]). As Commander of the [[Second Army (Italy)|2nd Army]] he was able to innovate offensive tactics, and in particular, he supported the creation of the [[Arditi]], so much so as to be the object of dislike by other army officials, who saw in the Arditi, the [[Praetorians]] of Capello, and in Capello himself, a general who surrounded himself with mercenaries and the faithful with allegiance to him, creating rivalries that would isolate him at Caporetto. |
|||
On 24 October 1917 everything collapsed. Capello was placed alongside other Armies by Cadorna in order to repel the Austro-German offensive led by generals [[Otto von Below]] and [[Svetozar Borojević]]. The Italian army was unprepared to fight a defensive battle after having conducted all its operations until then in an offensive stance, being unaware of the innovative methods that prevented the troops from getting bogged down in "no man's land". Germany had developed a fighting technique known as infiltration through the [[Stosstruppen]] to counter widely-used [[trench warfare]], thus denying the defenders a continuous line instead of simply overwhelming it through numbers alone. Such attacks exhausted more men and ammunition, as well as making them have to wait for reinforcements even once they cleared "no man's land" in one battle because there would just be another "no man's land" waiting for them at the next battle. The Italian command underestimated the effectiveness of the Germans at applying whatever intelligence the Austrians could offer them about the terrain and the Italian army's own disposition. Gas masks were in short supply. The Italians also underestimated the effectiveness of the Germans at [[mountain warfare]], figuring the Germans would mostly leave the mountains to the Austrian-Hungarians. Capello had neglected to organize the Second Army for defence, which led to the complete collapse of the front line. All this was exacerbated because sickness forced him to relinquish his command during the battle, this time to General [[Luca Montuori]]. |
|||
With the defeat at Caporetto, Capello's military career ended. On 8 February 1918 Capello was relieved of all posts, put before a Commission of Enquiry into the causes of Caporetto and by order of the Commission, he was retired. |
|||
===Political career=== |
|||
He was later among the first to join the Italian Fascist movement; presiding over the Congress of Rome in November 1921 and in October 1922 he took part in the [[March on Rome]].<ref>Il Generale Capello appartenne alla massoneria", Storia illustrata nu. 188, luglio 1973, p. 5</ref> Following the vote of the Grand Council in February 1923 which declared incompatible, membership in both Fascism and Freemasonry, Capello openly declared his Masonic membership,<ref>Storia Illustrata 1973, p. 5</ref> but did not resign from the Fascists.

Political career
[edit]He was later among the first to join the Italian Fascist movement; presiding over the Congress of Rome in November 1921 and in October 1922 he took part in the March on Rome.[7] Following the vote of the Grand Council in February 1923 which declared incompatible, membership in both Fascism and Freemasonry, Capello openly declared his Masonic membership,[8] but did not resign from the Fascists. In 1924 he physically defended the headquarters of the Grand Orient of Italy, Palazzo Giustiniani,[9] from Fascist attacks. After the assassination attempt against Mussolini in 1925, Capello's military role was marginalized by the Fascists. Capello organized patrolling activities[10] near the Italian Freemasonry's seats[11] to which he had adhered during the 1910s.[12][13]
He was arrested in Turin on charges of having taken part in the organization of the failed attack against Mussolini in 1925 organized by Tito Zaniboni. After a show trial, in 1927 he was sentenced to thirty years in prison, but he was released in January 1936.[14]
