Piedmontese Army

The Piedmontese Army was the military force of the Kingdom of Sardinia and later the Kingdom of Italy, primarily responsible for defending its territories and expanding Italian unification. Originating in the 19th century, it played a crucial role in wars against Austria, France, and other states to unify Italy. Known for modernization efforts, it adopted new tactics and weaponry. The army was instrumental in the Risorgimento movement, contributing to the formation of a unified Italian state in 1861. Over time, it evolved into the modern Italian Army, reflecting Italy's national sovereignty and military development.
