Name is Matteo, hailing from Rome, Italy
I do tend to collect mainly helmets from all sorts of periods of time, however as of lately i have been doing increasingly more research into italian and german ww1 and pre-ww1 era items as that's ultimately where my heart resides
Nice to meet you all :D
 
Welcome to the forum. (y)

Do you have the two-volume set of books The Italian Army in WWI by Davide Zendri and Francesco Frizzera published by Verlag Militaria.

If not, I can highly recommend it.

Welcome to this forum.✌️
I know there are a few other Italians here. When I hike and mountaineer between Domodossola and Bolzano, I see many traces of the Austro-Italian War! And at the Sant'Angelo Museum, I saw an "Italian" spiked helmet !!!

Oh hey I've been in that area multiple times! Try visiting Monte Piana if you haven't next, it's 2 mountains connected by a some bridge, on one side Italian trenches on the other austrohungarians

Btw what do you mean by Italian spiked helmet? 👀

Thanks for the information. I didn't go, but I'll keep it in mind. As for the Italian spiked helmet, I'll try to find the photo. It's about ten years old, though. But it is indeed the one shown by John Joseph. Thank you to him.😊
