80th Regiment "Roma"

The 80th Regiment "Roma" (Italian: 80° Reggimento "Roma") is an active unit of the Italian Army based in Monte Romano in Lazio. The regiment is named for the city of Rome and was part of the Italian Army's infantry arm until 2004, when it became a training unit and was redesignated as a "multi-arms unit" and designated 80th Volunteer Training Regiment "Roma". In December 2023 the regiment became a training support unit at the Monte Romano training range with the new name 80th Regiment "Roma".

The regiment was one of sixteen infantry regiments formed on 1 November 1884. During World War I the regiment fought on the Italian front. The regiment was disbanded in 1926 and reformed in May 1937. During World War II the regiment was assigned to the 9th Infantry Division "Pasubio", with which it participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia. In July 1941 the Pasubio division was assigned to the Italian Expeditionary Corps in Russia and the regiment fought in Donbas in Ukraine and along the Don river in southern Russia. In December 1942 the division and regiment were destroyed during the Soviet Operation Little Saturn. For its conduct in Ukraine and Russia the regiment was awarded two times Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valor. In 1958 the regiment was reformed as a training unit, which was reduced to a battalion sized unit at the end of 1975. In 1992 the regiment was reformed and was active as the training unit of the Non-Commissioned Officers School until 2023.
