Description

The San Marco Regiment Infantry minifigure brings to life the fierce Italian naval infantrymen of World War II. The San Marco Regiment, often compared to the British Royal Marines, were elite troops capable of fighting on land and sea. With his light blue-grey uniform and detailed printed gear, this minifigure reflects their amphibious nature and their readiness for combat across multiple terrains.

During WWII, San Marco soldiers were deployed in various theatres, from the Balkans to North Africa. They earned a reputation for toughness and loyalty, particularly in naval landing operations. The uniform of this minifigure is adorned with ammunition pouches and tactical equipment, while the stern expression on his face communicates the discipline for which these troops were known.

The San Marco Regiment’s legacy extends beyond WWII. After the war, they became a key part of Italy’s modern amphibious forces, and today they are still considered one of the most elite units in the Italian military.

For collectors, this minifigure provides a rare glimpse into the often-overlooked Italian contributions to WWII. Builders can place him in naval landing craft, desert battles, or urban warfare dioramas. His distinct look helps him stand apart from more commonly represented Allied and Axis troops, making him a great addition to any historical collection.
