History:
The Carabinieri were originally established in the early 19th century as elite units within European armies, particularly in France and Italy. Known for their distinctive uniforms and role as heavy cavalry, Carabiniers were armed with carbines and often played a key part in battlefield charges and close combat. Their presence symbolised both military prestige and discipline, and they became iconic figures in Napoleonic and post-Napoleonic armies. Today, the legacy of the Carabinier continues in ceremonial traditions and historical reenactments, where their striking appearance and battlefield reputation remain a subject of fascination for historians and modellers alike.
