At 3 p.m. this afternoon, Trieste’s Piazza Unità will host the ceremonial presentation of the Alpine Corps hat to the newest Initial Service Volunteers. As of 9 a.m., the city is already preparing for the event, which is expected to draw families, officials, and residents to Europe’s largest seaside square. The ceremony, steeped in Alpini tradition, marks a symbolic passage into service as each volunteer receives the distinctive felt hat. In a city where military history remains part of its identity, the moment promises to carry both solemnity and a renewed sense of civic continuity.
