Biography
Italian brigand, known as Donatello or sometimes Donatelli. Initially a Bourbon soldier, later he fought in the service of Giuseppe Garibaldi. Soon after the Italian unification he formed an army of two thousand men, leading the most cohesive and feared band in southern Italy and becoming the most formidable leader on the Bourbon side. He was renowned for his guerrilla tactics, such as cutting water supplies, destroying flour-mills, cutting telegraph wires and ambushing stragglers. He died in prison on June 18, 1905. Today many people of southern Italy, and in particular of his native region Basilicata, consider him a folk hero.
