hunters of the alps

The Hunters of the Alps (Cacciatori delle alpi) were a special corps created by Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1859 to help the regular army to free the northern part of Italy. As their name suggests, they operated in the Alps. Among their victories were those over the Austrians at Varese and Como. Their general used them even during the Third Independence War in 1866 against the Austrians, fighting on the Prussian side. On this occasion they showed their value by achieving the only Italian victory during the conflict (the Battle of Bezzecca, 21 July 1866), and by reaching the town of Trento.
