    Help identify an italian soldier

    Can anyone help identify the soldado. He was the uncle of a friend of mine. I cannot distinguish the color of the color tabs as I am not that well versed in the Royal Army collar tabs. Maybe someone very familiar could make a good assumption. I was told he was from a town named "Tufo Di Minturno". I believe it is between Rome and Naples.


    Thanks

    Dennis,

    nice photo! the location is right, today Latina province (fascist old name Littoria)
    the uniform is an prewar model 34 bandoleer infantry the tabs are Infantry difficult
    to say the background colors and central list to identificate the correct name
    of division; imho possible the central list is black whith red background
    (Aosta infantry division or Pistoia)
    all the best

      Raffaelo, Thanks for the information. Do you think the center stripe is black . The collar of the jacket is black and the center stripe appears lighter in color. What other colors could the center stripe be ? Thanks again

          Raff, Thanks I 'm leaning toward in this order.


          1.Calabria
          2.Pavia
          3. Bergamo
          4. Torino

          Where soldiers from that region in either of these units in any majority.
