Republic of Bobbio
Short-lived partisan state / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republic of Bobbio was a short lived partisan state centered around the Italian city of Bobbio in Piacenza province. The republic extended for ~90 kilometers, from Val Trebbia to the Oltrepò Pavese.[1] The small amount of fascist forces in the area failed to stop the partisans' expansion of influence throughout Piacenza's many valleys, and on July 7, 1944, Nazi forces were forced to retreat after partisans had disarmed anti-aircraft militia.[2]
