The Lenti Band was a partisan brigade formed after September 8, 1943, around Agostino Lenti, a former Alpine officer, and Mario Manassero, a soldier in the Royal Army. They quickly became a point of reference and a rallying point for a dozen young men, draft evaders, from Camagna Monferrato. By the summer of 1944, the group had established links with other rebel groups developing in the area, eventually joining the Matteotti Brigades active in the area.

Tomb of the youngest member of the Lenti Band; the Lenti gang was surprised at dawn on September 12th by the fascists, who captured almost all the group's partisans.
Once in Valenza, some prisoners attempted to escape. Only one succeeded and the fire of the German escort mowed down Agostino Lenti. The others were locked up in the elementary school building, interrogated and tortured. In the late afternoon the 26 rebels, led near the cemetery, were shot;
