This article appears in Volume V07, Page 213 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COSENZ, ENRICO (18121898) , Italian soldier, was born at
Gaeta
 , on the 12th of January 1812. As captain of artillery in the Neapolitan army he took
part
  in the expedition sent by Ferdinand II. against the Austrians in 1848; but after the coup d'etat at Naples he followed General Guglielmo Pepe in disobeying Ferdinand's order for the withdrawal of the troops, and proceeded to Venice to aid in defending that city. As commandant of the fort of Marghera, Cosenz displayed distinguished valour, and after the fall of the fort assumed the
defence
  of the Piazzale, where he was twice wounded. Upon the fall of Venice he fled to Piedmont, where he remained until, in 1859, he assumed the command of a Garibaldian
regiment
 . In 186o he conducted the third Garibaldian expedition to
Sicily
 , defeated two Neapolitan brigades at Piale (August 23), and marched victoriously upon Naples, where he was appointed minister of war, and took
part
  in organizing the
plebiscite
 . During the war of 1866 his division saw but little active service. After the war he repeatedly declined the
portfolio
  of war. In 1881, however, he became
chief
  of the general staff, and held that position until a short time before his death at Rome on the 7th of August 1898.
