Ugo Forno (Rome, 27 April 1932 – 5 June 1944) was an Italian student killed in Rome during World War II, while fighting against German invasion forces as a resistance fighter, during the defence of a railway bridge on the Aniene.
Known as "Ughetto," he was in second-grade at the time and died while German sappers attempted to destroy the bridge. The mission was successful, but mortar rounds killed Forno and other partisans.[1]
The bridge is now named after him.
