The Carabinieri Genovese were formed in 1851 as a rifle association.
The club was heavily influenced by the desire for Italian unity and many members were involved in the failed 1857 plot in Milan, Garibaldi's Cacciatory delle Alpi in 1859 and the Mille that set sail for Sicily with Garibaldi in 1860.
The uniform is on display in the Risorgimento museum in Genova.
