Bersaglieri Regiments have served with Distinction for nearly two hundred years. During my Soldati Della Republlica project I had the honour of working with both 1º Reggimento Bersaglieri in Cosenza and 6º Reggimento Bersaglieri in Trapani.
The 5th Cavalry "Lancieri di Novara" where the subjects of my final series of sittings, taking place on 5th March 2019 at their barracks in Codroipo.
The Regiment was created on December 24th, 1828, by decree of the King of Sardinia Carlo Felice, with the original name of Dragoni di Piemonte. The Lancieri di Novara continue to serve The Republic of Italy to this day and have distinguished themselves in many campaigns.
