The Assassination of Umberto I of Italy took place on 29 July 1900 on Matteo da Campione Street in Monza. King Umberto I of Italy was shot three or four times by Italian anarchist Gaetano Bresci during the sports ceremony and died a few minutes later. Bresci committed the act as revenge for the Bava Beccaris massacre, a violent action against the protesters in Milan in 1898. Before this event, Umberto I was targeted twice, in 1879 and 1898, but in both cases, he survived the assassination attempt.
