Italian Army Heraldic Coat of Arms Pin.

The Italian Army (EI) is the land component of the Italian armed forces, which also includes the Navy, the Air Force, and the Carabinieri, all of which depend on the Chief of the Defence Staff and are part of the Ministry of Defence.

Born as the Royal Army in 1861 on the occasion of the unification of Italy from the nucleus of the Sardinian Army, it assumed its current name after the birth of the Italian Republic in 1946. After the transition phase of the post-World War II period, during which some units were still under Allied control, Italy's entry into NATO led to a reorganization and modernization of the Army to counter possible military action by Warsaw Pact forces.
