1848 - SARDINIAN - PIEDMONTESE ARMY. The Officers' ranks

 One of the most difficult matter I hjad to face in the investigating the Piedmontese Army was the distinction in the uniforms for every rank.

Just thanks to the encyclopedical work of Quinto Cenni (I invete you to google this name) it was possible to me (with some effort) to understand it.

The distinctive signs for rank was actually the epaulettes in silver on the shoulders. This was clear to me. Unclear was how it in concrete worked.



Finally I had the answer that now I want to share:



Infantry Second Leutenant (Sottotenente)





Infantry First Leutenant (Tenente)








Infantry Captain (Capitano)
