Antonio Baldissera Antonio Baldissera ( 27 May 1838 - 8 January 1917 ) was an Italian general , active in the Ethiopian Empire ( Abyssinia ) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries . Biography . Baldissera was born at Padua 1838 , and died at Florence , on January 9 , 1917 . His birthplace in 1858 being still under Austrian rule , young Baldissera entered the Austrian army , in which he served with distinction in an infantry regiment ; he was captain in the 7th Jägers at Custoza ( 1866 ) . When Venetia became Italian , he opted for Italian nationality , retaining his rank in the Italian army . In 1879 he was promoted colonel of the 7th Bersaglieri . In 1887 , he was promoted to major general and went to Eritrea under General Alessandro Asinari di San Marzano , remaining in the colony as governor after the latter ' s return . Both as a soldier and an administrator he showed high qualities . He occupied Asmara , Keren and other territories , defeated the armies of Ras Alula , and had planned still further extensions of Italian dominion , profiting by the anarchy of Abyssinia . He organized the admirable native troops ( Askari ) , developed agriculture and built roads . But owing to a disagreement with the home Government over his Abyssinian policy he asked for and obtained his recall after two years of successful activity . In 1892 he was promoted lieutenant general . When the war with Abyssinia broke out in 1895 the then governor of the colony , General Oreste Baratieri , did not enjoy the confidence of the Italian government , which decided to send out Baldissera once more . Although the appointment was kept secret , Baratieri got wind of it , and this probably decided him to attack the enemy with an inferior force and insufficient supplies , hoping to win glory for himself before his successor ' s arrival . The result was the disaster of Adowa ( March 1 , 1896 ) . When Baldissera arrived , he found a defeated and demoralized army , and the victorious enemy advancing in force . With lightning speed , he reorganized the remains of Baratieri ' s army and the reenforcements just landed , freed the beleaguered garrisons of Cassale and Adigrat , drove back King Menelek II ' s army and reoccupied a large part of the lost territory . But peace was concluded before he had completely retrieved the defeat of Adowa , and he was forced to limit his activities to the internal reorganization of Eritrea . But even this task he could not carry out as thoroughly as he wished owing to the opposition of the home government , which was tired of African affairs . In 1897 Baldissera returned to Italy and resumed his duties in the home army , successively commanding the VII and VIII Army Corps . In 1906 he was made a senator . In 1908 he had to retire from the army under the age limit .
