The XIX Army Corps ( Italian: XIX Corpo d'Armata) was a corps of the Royal Italian Army between 1942 and 1943.
The XIX Army Corps was created on 3 March 1942 in
Bolzano.
On 1 May 1943 it was transferred to
Campania where it was tasked with coastal defense.
When the
Armistice of Cassibile was signed, the Corps commander
Riccardo Pentimalli took no action to prevent the German takeover of the area under his control, and even fled in civilian clothes together with
Ettore Deltetto, leaving his subordinates without orders. As a consequence, the XIX Corps was disarmed by the Germans and dissolved on 11 September 1943 at
Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
