The Alpini are the Italian elite mountain troops. They earned their distinctions during the mountain battles of WWI, but also elsewhere in WWII. I've come across quite a few memorials in Italian towns and villages specifically for them.
They have characteristic hats with a feather. You can almost make it out in the picture.
However, the love is not universal, as you can see. Taken in Genova last week.
