''Riparto D'Assalto'' - the correct Italian is 'REPARTO D'Assalto'' Mestre is a city close to Venezia Grappa = Monte Grappa is a mountain (about 1,800 mt high) in Veneto, north-east of Italy. The river Piave is close to it (on its east side) . Some of the events of World War I and World War II took place on Monte Grappa. On its summit a military memorial monument was erected in 1935, where the remains of 12,615 soldiers are guarded (10,332 of them are unknown) . Arditi = Italian for 'The Braves'.
