Alessandro Panizzardi
Alessandro Panizzardi was an Italian military officer of Lieutenant colonel rank. Panizzardi was associated with Maximilian [von Schwartzkoppen]'s role in the Dreyfus affair. Later research suggests that von Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi were involved in an intimate relationship. A book of the name Le dossier secret de l'affaire Dreyfus was published in 2007 by three French journalists. In a review of the book in Italian newspaper La Stampa, it was noted that case against Dreyfus was explicitly linked to anti-Semitism, but also to Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardis' homosexual affair.
