Uniform - what type of police/military

Post by telesino »

I have attached a picture from the turn of the 20th century of a family member in an official uniform of some sort. I do not know whether it is military or police related. any assistance would be appreciated.

The helmet appears to be from the 19th century Italian Cavalry...

I looked up Italian military uniforms, then Italian 19th century helmets (based on the one in the photo)...

It has the same sculpted plume, at least. Not sure about rank or location...
