Museo storico dei Granatieri di Sardegna

The Museo storico dei Granatieri di Sardegna in Rome is a military museum housed in fifteen exhibition halls displaying weapons, photographs, battle maps, flags, and personal military items. The collection provides a comprehensive view of the equipment, decorations, and records of this unit across different periods.

The institution was established in 1922 and traces its origins to a 1903 initiative when military officials began collecting artifacts of this regiment. Since then it has documented the unit's development and service across successive generations.

The museum preserves the story of an elite military unit through displays of uniforms, weapons, and documents that show how these soldiers lived and served. Visitors gain insight into the daily life and significance of this unit in Italian military history.

The museum is accessible on weekdays with limited daytime hours, though groups can arrange visits outside the standard schedule. It is advisable to check ahead before planning a visit since access is restricted.

The walls display roughly 8,500 names of fallen soldiers inscribed in gold letters, commemorating their service across different conflicts. These inscriptions form a silent memorial to the sacrifices of this unit.
