Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • WWII Cappello Alpino, uniform hat of the Royal Italian Army Alpine divisions (mountain troops, Le Penne Nere, "Black feathers"):
    • Embroidered insignia/emblem: An eagle clutching a bugle
    • Black velvet centre (black for soldiers)
    • Black raven feather on the left side of the cap
    • Golden metal wrap on the left side of the cap as a rank insignia of a Sottotenente, second lieutenant company officer
The Cappello Alpino is the most distinctive feature of the Italian Army's Alpini troops uniform. The Alpini are light Infantry troops, specializing in mountain combat. Initially the Cappello was only issued to the Alpini, but soon the Cappello was adopted by the Alpini Corps' support units like Artillery, signals, engineers. Thanks to the black raven feather, which is carried on each Alpini soldiers Cappello, the Alpinis are known as Le Penne Nere ("The Black Feathers") in Italy. A nickname the Alpini quickly adopted for themselves.
