Giuseppe Galliano

Giuseppe Galliano (Vicoforte, 1846 - 1 March, 1896) was an officer of the Italian army. He became famous in the First Italo-Ethiopian War, fighting against the dervishes at Agordat in 1890 and in the Battle of Coatit, against Ras Mengesha Yohannes, in 1895.

In the 1895-96 war he delayed Emperor Menelik II's army by resisting in the Enda Jesus fort (subsequently renamed Forte Galliano outside Mek'ele, and obtained his honorable discharge in 1896.

He reinlisted in the army and fell while fighting at Adwa, receiving posthumously two Gold Medals of Military Valor.

The drink Galliano was named after him.
