The Alpini hat is a distinctive headgear worn by members of the Italian Army's Alpini, a mountain infantry corps. Characterized by its wide brim and a unique feather, the hat is typically made of felt and comes in various shades of green or gray. The feather, often from a cockade, symbolizes the wearer’s unit and serves as a badge of honor. Originally designed for practical use in mountainous terrains, the Alpini hat has become a symbol of pride and tradition among the Alpini soldiers. It is often worn during military ceremonies, parades, and commemorative events, reflecting the rich history and culture of the Alpini and their contributions to Italy's military heritage.
