Enrico Toti

Enrico Toti

Enrico Toti (born Rome 20 August 1882, died Monfalcone 6 August 1916) was an Italian patriot and hero of World War I.

Enrico lost his left leg in a railway accident at the age of 24. After his injury he became a cyclist. When war broke out he volunteered for the Italian army and despite his injury joined the Bersaglieri and was promoted to major. He was killed in the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. Fatally wounded while fighting, he hurled his crutch at the enemy. He was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valor (Italy's highest award for valour).
