Alpini MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates the Alpini, which was an elite branch of the Italian Army, established in 1827, and specialised in mountain operations.
The Italian Government created the Alpini when it was determined that a special unit was required to be assigned to mountain defences. The Alpini served alongside British and American forces and withstood attacks from German and Austrian troops during World War One.
The monument was erected by the Associazione Nazionale Alpini of Adelaide.
