In the winter of 1966 and 1967,
a group of men at Fogolar Furlan Club were talking about
their military experiences. Those were the Alpini: Elio Nadalin,
Aldo Lot, Beniamino D’Angnolo, Antonio Meret, Silvano Scodeller.
They founded the club named Gruppo Alpini in May 1967. The
Alpini are distinguished by their famous "Capelli con la Penna
Nera" (Hats with the Black Feather).
The Gruppo Alpini in Windsor was glad to host the 11th Congress
of the Alpini in 2001. The Gruppo Alpini has
three significant Alpini symbols: Cappello (The Hat) – Piccozza
(Mattock) - Stelle Alpine (The Alpine Stars). A monument is
built in memory of the Alpini of Windsor. |
