In the Russian campaign, leading the 2nd Italian mounted hunters, he performed great deeds of valor, being killed in the battle of Vyazma on November 3, 1812.
On 24 October, at the Battle of Maloyaroslavets, Colonel Antonio Banco of 2o Cacciatori a Cavallo was mortally wounded.
On November 3, before reaching Viazma, the Italians were engaged in fighting, on the one hand to repel a Russian column that had inserted itself between the Viceroy's Corps and Davout's, on the other to support Ney's III Corps that preceded them, which was also under attack. Although exposed to Russian artillery, the units managed to maneuver, repelling the Russian columns, and resumed their march. In particular, the mounted hunters and Colonel Banco, who was killed by a cannon shot, distinguished themselves.
Which of these statements are true? Did his wound at Maloyaroslavets lead to his beath in November 1812?
I should state this is in my quest for information of Antonio-Giovanni Gasparinetti (of 3o Cacciatori a Cavallo) who apparently took command of the 2o Cacciatori a Cavallo despite being wounded at Viazma and feigning death while a coaasck cut his ring finger off!
Mortally wounded is often used to indicate wounds that are likely to cause death. But I came across cases where the person being mortally wounded lived on for many many years.
