1848 PIEDMONTESE ARMY (ARMATA SARDA). Nizza Cavalleria

 This is one of the most historical regiments of all the Piedmontese/Italian history, still existing and with long and glorious tradition.

Contrary to other countries the best uniforms were during the Risorgimento (and now still used in cerimony).


As far as I know there are quite few representation on Internet of this uniforms. I thought it is time to cover this mistake and give glory to the superb Piedmontese Cavalry.

I started with a Lancer (they all wore lance and sword) of the NIZZA CAVALLERIA Regiment in 1848.

They are 2 pelotons of the first Squadron of the Nizza Cavalleria, i.e. 50 men
