PAPAL ARMY - 1848. LINE INFANTRY REGIMENT "GRANATIERI"

 The first regiment of the Line Infantry was called "Granatieri" and had a very beautiful uniform. They wore the black colback, with a red plume on the side. Very colourful epaulettes (yellow with red-yellow frindges).

The unit was on 2 battalions, each on 6 companies, all of Grenadiers.

Again, it is worthy to compare the grenadiers' uniforms of the  Granatieri Regiment, with the grenadiers' uniform of the 3rd Line Infantry Regiment "Fucilieri", Ist Company, called "Granatieri" as well.
