Bersaglieri's Officer, Italy 1870

[gioazz]

Ciao a tutti,


Here is my last figure, is the beautiful 54mm sculpture from Andrea Jula, commemorative piece of 2002 World Expo in Rome, the first and last one I attended.
Is also an important piece because the uniform is dated around 1861, the italian unification, this year is 150 years celebration!!!! AUGURI ITALIA!

For the first time ever I painted the piece out of the box, I haven't even changed the base!

Hope you like it.

Ciao

Giovanni

Hello Giovanni, a lovely paint and presentation job on this figure, I especially like it as I have fond memories of being attatched to a Bersaglieri Regiment in the North East of Italy in the late 1970's on Exercise Ponte Vechio (I think). We had a smashing time and thanks to the wonderful generosity of the Italian Army I got to see Venice twice.
Thank you for sharing this lovely work with us and for reminding me of a great episode in my Army career.
Regards
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

What a pleasure to read your kind words.

I'm glad you like the piece, but moreover I'm glad you liked our people and our country and you have good memory of it.

Thanks again.
