Caporetto; Cadorna contro Capello. Gli errori dei nostri comandanti. Episodio 4.

Who were the Italian generals at the Battle of Caporetto? And what decisions did they make in the days immediately preceding the Austro-Hungarian and German attack? In this fourth episode of the series dedicated to Caporetto, produced for the Museum of the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, we take a closer look at the key Italian commanders: Luigi Cadorna, Luigi Capello, Alberto Cavaciocchi, Pietro Badoglio, and Giorgio Boccacci. Through documents and historical reconstructions, the video highlights a crucial, often simplified, aspect: the so-called "disagreement" between Cadorna and Capello. Was it really a strategic clash between two opposing visions, or was it a problem of communication and interpretation of orders? We will discover how, on the eve of the offensive, the Italian command underestimated the scope of the enemy attack, believing it to be a limited operation, and how this assessment influenced the deployment and operational decisions on the field. A rigorous analysis to better understand one of the most critical moments in Italian military history. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:10 The Italian Generals at Caporetto 03:45 Luigi Cadorna: Strategy and Vision 07:20 Luigi Capello and the Offensive Choice 11:05 The Role of Alberto Cavaciocchi 13:40 Pietro Badoglio and the Decisive Sector 16:20 Giorgio Boccacci and the Front Line 18:10 The Cadorna-Capello "Discord" 20:00 Communication and Command Problems 20:45 On the Eve of the Attack 21:20 Conclusions Essential Bibliography: The information in this video is drawn primarily from the following works: Mario Isnenghi - "Caporetto" Mario Silvestri - "Caporetto: A Battle and an Enigma" Stefano Gambarotto - "Caporetto: An Italian Tragedy.
