EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic determination of an Italian Bersagliere soldier during the early years of the First World War. The Bersaglieri, a renowned corps of the Italian Army, were established in the 1830s by General Alessandro La Marmora to serve in the Army of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Over time, they became a high-mobility light infantry unit, recognized by their distinctive wide-brimmed hats adorned with glossy black capercaillie feathers and tassels. The Bersaglieri's unique headgear, known as the "Plume," was a symbol of their pride and tradition. The plumes were made from the capercaillie, a large and elusive bird native to the Italian Alps. The soldiers would hunt the capercaillie themselves, adding to the prestige of wearing the plume. In this image, the Italian Bersagliere stands tall against a backdrop of barren terrain, his wide-brimmed hat casting a dramatic shadow over his face. The tassels on his hat sway gently in the breeze, and the glossy black capercaillie feathers stand out against his olive drab uniform. The soldier's expression is focused and resolute, a testament to the courage and dedication of the Bersaglieri during the tumultuous years of the First World War. The photograph, taken circa 1914, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Italian military during this period. The Bersaglieri's legacy continues to inspire and captivate, as they remain an integral part of Italy's military history.
