@Staatsarchiv not everyone knows that the character Ernani wore a special feathered hat which, during the Italian Risorgimento, was forbidden by the Austrian authorities, as a symbol of freedom. The hat with the feath, in 1872 was an inspiration to that of the Italian Alpine troops.

#OTD, 1872: in Naples, King Vittorio Emanuele II signs the decree establishing the Mountain Troops, simply called "Alpini". The idea was of the general Domenico Perrucchetti.

@PikeGrey1418 even in Italy children played with war: they wondered why there's a bad nation like Austria-Hungary or bet in 1914 on who will win;a large map of the front where to put the flags of the conquest!
At the end, the game of Goose became game of 2-headed eagle!
