The Regiment "Genova Cavalleria" (4th) (Italian: Reggimento "Genova Cavalleria" (4°)) is a cavalry regiment of the Italian Army based in Palmanova in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Originally a Dragoon unit of the Savoyard state its recruiting area was the Genevois. After the Genevois was lost to France the recruiting area was changed to the Duchy of Genoa.

The "Genova Cavalleria" with its two Gold Medals of Military Valour is the highest decorated cavalry regiment of the Italian Army. The regiment is also the oldest cavalry regiment of the army and the only army unit, whose anniversary commemorates a pre-Risorgimento event. The regiment earned both its Gold Medals of Military Valour in the Battle of Mondovì on 21 April 1796, when the regiment charged Napoleon's five cavalry regiments of the 1st French Cavalry Division near Bricchetto and drove them off the field.

Today the regiment is the reconnaissance unit of the Cavalry Brigade "Pozzuolo del Friuli".[3]

History[]

The Regiment traces its origin to the "Dragons Bleu" established on 26 January 1683 by Duke Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia. The baptism of fire of the "Dragons Bleu" was in the Battle of Carignano during the campaign of 1690-93, against the Kingdom of France.[1] The document attesting the birth of the "Dragons Bleus" is the agreement between Duke Vittorio Amedeo II and the Count of Verrua for the raising of a Dragoons regiment.[4]

The "Dragons Bleu" participated in all actions from 1703 to 1713. During the siege of Turin, in Madonna di Campagna, the "Dragons Bleu" stood out in a critical phase of the fight. Due to their valiant behaviour, the "Dragons Bleu" became "Dragoni di Sua Altezza Reale (S.A.R.)".[1]

The Regiment was renamed in 1713 "Dragoni del Re" (Italian for "King's Dragoons").[1]

In the War of the Spanish Succession, the Regiment fought with distinction in the battle of Conflans. The Regiment also fought in the battle of Guastalla in 1734 against the forces of the Habsburg Monarchy.[5]

In 1742 the Regiment participated in the battle of Casteldelfino, barring the pass of the Varaita Valley to the Franco-Spanish army. Later, on the Tidone, the Regiment captured a battalion and two flags of the "Duke of Anjou" Regiment.[5]

On 21 April 1796, during the battle of Mondovì, to cover the retreat of the Piedmontese infantry engaged against Napoleon, on the Bricchetto hill, the Regiment charged and flew French Dragoons and Hussars. For this action, King Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia granted two Gold Medals as "just one is not enough to reward so much value". The date became the Regiment's holiday.[1][4]

In 1798, following the French conquest, the Regiment was renamed into "Dragoni Piemontesi" and absorbed the "Dragoni della Regina" and "Cavalleggeri di S.M." Regiments, but in 1814 it was renamed back "Dragoni del Re".[5]

In 1821 the Regiment took on the yellow gorget patches, a colour still preserved. The Regiment participated in the 1821 revolutions and therefore it was formally disestablished[4] on 1 August 1821.[6]: 4 

Only one detachment remained loyal to King Carlo Felice. From this detachment, the "Dragoni del Genevese" are formed. The name refers to an area south of Geneva. The new Regiment remained the depositary of the traditions of the "King's Dragoons" Regiment and of the two gold medals of the battle of Mondovì.[1]

In 1832 King Carlo Alberto of Sardinia ordered that all the Cavalry Regiments had identical functions and denominations. Therefore, the Regiment took the name of "Genova Cavalleria", maybe in homage to the city of Genoa or in honour of Carlo Alberto's second son, Ferdinando.[1][4]

The Regiment took part in the First Italian War of Independence, fighting together with the "Savoia", "Aosta" and "Nizza" regiments in Santa Lucia, Goito and Custoza.[1][4]

In the Second Italian War of Independence, the Regiment fought with distinction in Vinzaglio. Between 19 October 1859 an 23 February 1860 the Regiment was classified as Cuirassiers and named "Corazzieri di Genova". After that, the Regiment "Genova Cavalleria" was designated as Line Cavalry.[7]: 5 note 2

As of 24 January 1861, all Cavalry Regiments consisted of:[7]: 5 

  • Regimental Staff;
  • 6 line Squadrons;
  • Regimental Depot;
    • Depot Staff;
    • Depot Squadron.

Kingdom of Italy[]

Part of the Soman Brigade, in the Third Italian War of Independence the Regiment managed, in the battle of Custoza, to contain the Austro-Hungarian advance allowing the retreat of Infantry divisions "Principe Umberto" and "Bixio", as well as artillery units.[1][4]

The Royal Decree of 10 September 1871 (Riccotti Reform) introduced some changes: the distinction between cavalry specialities (Line Cavalry, Lancers, Cheval Legers, Hussars and Guides) disappeared. All cavalry regiments consisted of six line squadrons.[7]: 7  The Regiment was renamed "4th Cavalry Regiment (Genova)" and, together with all cavalry regiments, received white collars.[6]: 8 

In 1876 names and colours were changed again. The Regiment retook the old name of "Genova Cavalleria (4°)" and the collar colour returned yellow.[5][7]: 7 

On 1 October 1909 the organisation was changed again and Cavalry Regiments now included five line squadrons.[7]: 11 

In April 1915, each Squadron included a Cyclists Unit.[7]: 11 

First World War[]

At the beginning of the First World War, the Regiment was deployed on the border. At the time it was part of the Cavalry Division "Friuli".[7]: 11 note 15 In December 1915, all Cavalry Regiments were reduced to five line Squadrons.[7]: 11  The Regiment, like all the Italian cavalry, was dismounted in February 1916[8]: 22  and sent to the trenches at the outbreak of hostilities.[1]

On 16 September 1916, on the Carso, the Regiment conquered and maintained hill 144 and the Regimental Standard was decorated with a silver medal for military valour.[6]: 10  In December 1916 the Regiment was remounted and in 1917 the Regiment returned to cavalry operations.

On 29 and 30 October 1917 the Regiment, together with the Regiment "Lancieri di Novara" (5th) and with the Infantry Brigade "Bergamo" (25th and 26th Regiments)[8]: 4  fought against enemy forces eight times as many[8]: 13  in the Battle of Pozzuolo in order to allow the retreat of the III Field Army across the Tagliamento.[6]: 10  With the defence of Pozzuolo del Friuli, as well as with the other arrest operations of the Italian forces, the advancing forces of the Central Powers were slowed by the II Cavary Brigade. This allowed the safe passage of the Tagliamento of the bulk of the Royal Italian Army. The battle was extremely costly, with the Regiment losing about 60% of the force:[1] 2 Officers dead, 12 Officers missing in action, 4 Officers wounded, 427 Subofficers and troops dead, wounded or missing, 327 horses dead or wounded.[8]: 40 [9]

In the battle of Pozzuolo, the Regiment was decorated with the Silver Medal for Military Valour, while several individual decorations were granted. Lieutenant Carlo Castelnuovo delle Lanze, killed in action, Captain Ettore Laiolo, killed in action, and Sergeant Elia Rossi Passavanti (later regimental commander), severely wounded were decorated with the Gold Medal for Military Valour.[8]: 47 [10]

In January 1918 all Cavalry Regiments were augmented to five line Squadrons.[7]: 13  On 31 October 1918, while pursuing the retreating Austro-Hungarian forces, the Regiment secured the Livenza crossing in Fiaschetti.[6]: 11  For actions during the First World War the Regiment was awarded of two Silver Medals for Military Vaolur.[8]: 47 [10]

1919 - 1939[]

Collar of the "Genova Cavalleria" until 1934.

Immediately after the war, the new Italian military order acknowledged the need to reduce the workforce. In the provisional military organisation of 1919, the force was reduced to sixteen regiments, with the abolition of the cyclist and machine gun units. The regiments of the most ancient traditions remained alive, including the "Genova Cavalleria".[11]

In 1920, the Cavalry Regiments dropped to twelve regiments. In 1920, the Regiment incorporated, as II Squadrons Group, the dissolved "Lancieri di Mantova" Regiment and a squadron of the "Lancieri di Milano" Regiment. In 1926 the Regiment was garrisoned in Bologna and in 1933 in Rome.[12]

The Regiment was employed in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War with two truck-mounted machine gun groups in Ethiopia. On 20 January 1936 they proceeded to occupation of Negele Borana.[1][4]

As of 1 March 1939 the Regiment "Genova Cavalleria" (4°) was framed within the 21st Infantry Division "Granatieri di Sardegna".[7]: 19 

In 1939 the II Squadron Group, with the I and II platoon of the 5th machine gun squadron, participated in the Italian invasion of Albania, framed in the ad-hoc regiment commanded by Colonel Raffaele Pelligra.[12]

Second World War[]

The Regiment was then employed in the invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941, in Albania and Northern Africa.[1]

In 1941, the Regiment, framed within the Celere Division "Amedeo di Savoia Duca d'Aosta", participated in the campaign to conquer Croatia. In November 1941 the Regiment's IV Machine Gun Squadrons Group became part of the Germanic division Z.B.W. in North Africa and took part in the battles of Bardia, Sollum, Sidi Omar, receiving very high praise even from the enemies.[12]

In 1942, the Regiment, mounted, was employed in counter-guerrilla operations in Croatia. In September of the same year he returned to Italy and was sent to France, framed in the 2nd Celere Division "Emanuele Filiberto Testa di Ferro". The IV Group, dismounted, was used with particular tasks in the area between Udine and Trieste. The III Group, dismounted, was assigned to the defense of the port of Civitavecchia.[12]

The regiment, under the command of Colonel Lombardi, returned to Italy on 3 September 1943. In Dronero, near Cuneo, it was surprised by the Armistice of Cassibile.[4]

In the days of the armistice the Regiment fought in Rome and in Tirana. An ad-hoc Group, organised on 2 mounted squadrons and consisting of Deport garrison and recruits, fought, in the Battle for Rome from 8 to 10 September 1943 at Porta San Paolo and at the Colosseum, where Captain Franco Vannetti Donnini, MOVM, fell. The Group of the "Genova Cavalleria" fought on the Aventine Hill, in Testaccio, and at Porta Capena.[13]

On 10 September, on superior orders, the Regiment, having placed the Standard in safety, was disestablished.[1][4][12]

The XXVII Group "Genova", dismounted and located in Corsica, after having taken part in actions against the Germans and having been assigned to police duties, was returned to Italy and assigned to the Territorial Command of Bari in August 1944. In January 1945, the XXVII Group "Genova", within the Eighth Army, was part of the 56th Area Command of Siena. In May 1945 the Group took part in the occupation of Milan and was then incorporated into the 5th Regiment "Guardie" in Brescia.[12]

Cold War to present[]

The unit was reestablished in 1946 in Albenga, as the 4th Dragoons Divisional Exploration Group.[1]

In 1949, the Divisional Exploration Group became 4th Armoured Cavalry Regiment "Genova Cavalleria", based in Palmanova, where it is still based.[1] The Regiment consisted of:[14]: 33 

  • 1 Command Squadron;
  • 2 Squadrons Group;
  • 1 Support Weapons Squadron.

The regimental depot was also based in Palmanova.[14]: 78 

In 1949 the Regiment detached a Squadron (named "Genova" after the parent Regiment) to the security corps of the Trust Territory of Somaliland under Italian administration. The Squadron consisted of:[14]: 79 

  • Command Platoon;
  • 2 Armoured vehicles Platoons (with Staghound T17);
  • 1 Tanks Platoon (with Stuart M3A3 tanks).

The deployment of the Squadron drawn from the Regiment lasted until 1951.[14]: 112 

On 13 March 1957, the 5th Army Corps established a Cavalry Brigade Command. This command exercised authority over three Cavalry Regiments: "Piemonte Cavalleria", "Genova Cavalleria" and "Lancieri di Novara".[14]: 117 

In 1958, the Regiment resumed the traditional name of Regiment "Genova Cavalleria" (4th) and was placed within the Mountain Infantry Division "Mantova".[1][14]: 119 

As of 1964, the III Squadrons Group was headquartered in Visco (province of Udine)[14]: 135 note 338 directly under the Cavalry Brigade "Pozzuolo del Friuli".[14]: 165  On 20 May 1965, the Regiment was given back the ancient Regimental Standard.[6]: 17 

In 1975, with the 1975 Army reform, the Regiment became the 4th Mechanized Squadron Group "Genova Cavalleria", also giving life to the 28th Tank Squadron Group "Cavalleggeri di Treviso".[1]

On 14 September 1993, the Squadron Group was transformed into the Regiment "Genova Cavalleria" (4th).[1]
