The plural form of bersagliere; Italian elite infantry units or soldiers known for fast movement and marksmanship.
Italian plural form of 'bersagliere,' maintaining the Italian masculine plural ending '-i.' The term emerged in the 19th century when Italy organized these specialized units.
The bersaglieri are still active today and march in Rome's military parades with the same feathered hats their great-great-grandfathers wore—they're one of the world's oldest continuously serving elite military units!
