Re: Italian Military Records
Military records are normally found at the provincial archives of the province which includes the birth comune, in this case, Palermo. You can use this template:
Date of birth should be written as shown above; day number, month spelled out in italian, year.
email address: as-pa@beniculturali.it
web: http://www.archiviodistatodipalermo.it/index.php
State archives usually charge a small fee to cover the cost of copying and postage. This typically amounts to less then €5. They will send you a bill, sometimes by email (if you provide an address, of course). Some state archives will mail the bill and the documents the same day; others will send a bill and wait for payment before mailing the docs.
