 Some monarchical officers also joined the BGs and obtained the command of detachments, battalions or even entire brigades, for their military preparation, like captain Ugo Ricci (among the first promoters of the resistance in the province of Como, killed in action during the battle of Lenno) and lieutenant count Luchino Dal Verme, who commanded as "Maino" the "88ª Brigata" ""Casotti"" and later the entire ""Antonio Gramsci"" division in the Oltrepò Pavese.Those situations led sometimes to diatribes and contrasts that did not reduced the common will of antifascist struggle and the related application in fight.The most famous groups of Garibaldi Brigades were those of Vincenzo Moscatelli "Cino" and Eraldo Gastone "Ciro" in the Partisan Republic of Valsesia, Pompeo Colajanni "Barbato" , Vincenzo Modica "Petralia" and Giovanni Latilla "Nanni" in Valle Po and Langhe, Francesco Moranino "Gemisto" in Biella, Mario Ricci "Armando" in Modena and Arrigo Boldrini "Bulow" in Romagna.
