A life-long Christian-Democrat, and long opposed to the socialist coalition which has ruled Italy in recent years, Falvi has always despised the Warsaw Pact, and regretted Italy's involvement with it. He was patriotic enough to obey orders, however, until conditions deteriorated. Now he and the remnants of his unit are slowly fighting their way back to Italy, trying to do as much damage to the Soviets as possible."

Going Home was written in 1986 but in the same year the Folgore Mechanized Division was disbanded, so there's no reason for his existence in the official Twilight timeline.
Another thing, the correct italian spelling of the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel is Tenente-Colonnello.
