During [[Operation Husky]] (the Allied invasion of Sicily), the 10th and 177th Bersaglieri Regiments fiercely contested the advance of the US 15th Regimental Combat Team and 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions. Resistance was stiff enough to require house-to-house combat. US military historian Samuel Eliot Morison concluded that in the American advance ''"The Italians fought manfully for Agrigento".'' <ref>History of United States Naval Operations in World War II: Sicily - Salerno - Anzio, January 1943 - June 1944, Samuel Eliot Morison, p. 176, University of Illinois Press, 2001</ref>
