COMMEMORATION OF ITALIAN BERSAGLIERI

"Italian BERSAGLIERI from 1836 to today" On a bird's-eye representation of Italy, the greatest military corporations are mapped, from the baptism of arms in the battle of Goito in 1848 to participation in the Italian expeditionary force in China in 1900. They complete the allegory two soldiers in action, the Savoy eagle, the portrait of the founder of the General Corps Alessandro della Marmora and two quotations of praise from generals of allied armies: "Largo, o gentlemen, here is the General of the Italian bersaglieri who covered themselves of glory "(Gen. Pellicier to Foreign Officers in Crimea); "Majesty! You have superb soldiers, they are wearing the color of death and are the most proud expression of life" (Gen. Molke to SM Vitt. Emanuele II). Celebratory post card, Lit. Doyen by L. Simonetti, Turin early 20th century
