On March 12, 1863, he was promoted to captain.[3] Detached ton sixth Army Corps at Naples, he was injured twice during operations against the brigandage, and on May 30, 1864, brigands at Sant'Ilario dello Ionio killed his horse while he was on top of it as he escorted his commander with a mixed column of infantry and cavalry.[3] The incident ended with the destruction of one of the gangs that had attacked them.[4] During the Third war for independence,[4] he assisted the 3rd division under the command of général Filippo Brignone.[3]
On June 24, during the Battle of Custoza, after seeing General Brignone was in danger, he personally placed himself at the head of the carabinieri and the guides at the charge of the command, and charged at the enemy, successfully repelling them and saving the general.[3] For this deed he wads given the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of the Savoy. In the summer of 1869 he was invited to assist the French Army in Châlons-en-Champagne.[3] He fought for the French during the Franco-Prussian War.[4]

During his stay in the capital, he was picked by Umberto I to teach Vittorio Emanuele III on warfare and military matters.[6] Ottolenghi's ties to the future king continued from 1891 to 1892, when the Prince took command of the First Infantry Regiment, after the King's Brigade had been transferred to Naples.
In January 1895, Ottolenghi rose to the position of lieutenant general and was sent to Turin as commander of the local territorial military division, holding this position until he left for Palermo in July 1899,[3] acquiring leadership of the 12th Army Corps.

The short rewards of the government budget made his plans to modernize the army impossible, especially his ideas on recruitment and the workforce,Шаблон:Efn but he managed to make a significant impact on the Italian military. Ottolenghi's measures were characterized by heavily decentralizing tasks through the division of labour, accelerating the jobs of numerous junior officers by promoting 400 supernumerary lieutenants to captains,[3] expanded the numbers of pharmacists in military hospitals, and formed some of the first ski companies in the Alpine regiments, building on the work of his predecessor Ponza di San Martino.[3]
