As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Military medal experts

Post by EllenCatusco »

I finally got the best picture I can of the medals worn by an ancestor. I have looked through many sites to see if I could match any, to no avail. These are the 2 pics of medals. The ancestor was from torre del greco, could have been in Navy. Born about 1830's. Any help or direction would be wonderful.

My latest blog post which covers Italian military history from 1861, and has links to uniforms and other regalia, and information and photos of the various military campaigns in Africa and elsewhere.
