Nice discovery. An earlier version of L'Esercito e i suoi corpi (1971–1979) and L'Esercito Italiano verso il 2000 (2001–2002). There is some information on the Carabinieri Reali and the Legioni Territoriali not found in the later works.

An interesting omission are the 10º and 11º reggimenti Granatieri di Savoia. These two regiments were formed in 1936, yet are not included in the handbook (at least nowhere I could find).

Thanks!

Pista! Jeff

Indeed. And in general "colonial" part of this book looks like it was written before AOI military establishment was promulgated: Eritrean and Somalian coloniali are shown as separate entities.
