The Battle of Centuripe was fought from 2 to 4 August 1943, as part of the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II. The 78th Battleaxe Division, of the British Eighth Army, was engaged in fierce fighting around the town of Centuripe in the central portion of Sicily in the hill country between the Rivers Dittaìno and Salso. Centuripe, a hill town set on a very high rocky pinnacle and approached by only one steep and twisty road, itself was the key to the whole Adrano position, the capture of which would in turn force the Germans to withdraw to new positions. The British troops captured the town after heavy fighting and as a result caused the Germans to start contemplating abandoning Sicily altogether.

  • La bataille de Centuripe est livrée du 2 au 4 août 1943 à la suite du débarquement allié en Sicile (Opération Husky).

  • La battaglia di Centuripe fu combattuta dal 2 al 4 agosto 1943, nel corso dell'invasione alleata della Sicilia durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Le forze dell'VIII armata britannica ingaggiarono aspri combattimenti contro le truppe dell'Asse attestate a Centuripe nella parte centrale della Sicilia, tra i fiumi Dittaino e Salso, che in virtù della sua posizione su una rocca a circa 750 m s.l.m., raggiungibile solo mediante una strada tortuosa e ripida, era diventata un caposaldo fortificato delle truppe della Wehrmacht.
