Giuliano Prini
Giuliano Prini (born January 25, 1910 in Rome , † September 24, 1941 in the North Atlantic) was an Italian naval officer.
Giuliano Prini was trained at the Naval Academy in Livorno and was promoted to lieutenant at sea in 1931 . After a short service on cruisers and destroyers , he was transferred to the submarine weapon at his own request and assigned to the boats Menotti , Geneis , H.6 and Ambra .
When the Second World War broke out , he was deputy in command of the Baracca submarine, which was about to be completed in La Spezia . In 1941 he took over the boat Malaspina , with which he operated from Bordeaux in the North Atlantic and sank two merchant ships there.
The boat Malaspina ran out for the last time on September 7, 1941 to attack an Allied convoy in the North Atlantic together with four other Italian submarines. It was probably sunk on September 24, 1941.
The Italian Navy named a Sauro- class submarine after Giuliano Prini in the 1980s .
