SASSARI – A moment of strong emotional impact and high institutional significance marked the change-of-command ceremony for the 152° Reggimento Fanteria "Sassari" at the historic "Gonzaga" barracks in Sassari. After more than a year of an intense and distinguished tenure, Colonel Luigi Carlà relinquishes command of the unit. He is succeeded by Colonel Massimiliano Brini, who thus becomes the regiment's 64th commander in its history.
Profile and career of Colonel Luigi Carlà
A native of Lecce, Colonel Luigi Carlà has built an outstanding career in the Italian Army. An officer of the Bersaglieri with an exceptional record, his professional and educational background is rooted in operational settings and senior strategic appointments.
Before taking command of the 152° Reggimento Fanteria "Sassari", Carlà served at the Stato Maggiore dell'Esercito, gaining significant experience in the organization, planning, and management of the armed forces.Already awarded the Croce d'Oro al Merito dell'Esercito during his career, Colonel Carlà has demonstrated proven expertise in the field at both the national and international levels.
During his time in command of the 152°, he led the "Sassarini" through demanding training and operational commitments, including command of the Task Force Italbatt as part of international peacekeeping missions (such as in Lebanon), as well as the deployment of personnel for homeland security under Operation "Strade Sicure".At the end of his tenure in Sassari, Colonel Carlà will return to Rome to take up a new and prestigious post with the Stato Maggiore della Difesa.
"We were afraid together, we protected our Bandiera di Guerra together, we rejoiced and we also suffered together"— Col. Luigi Carlà, during his farewell address to his soldiers.
The start of Massimiliano Brini's tenure
Taking over command of the 152° is Colonel Massimiliano Brini, a native of Belluno who comes from Comando Truppe Alpine. An officer with extensive, high-level operational experience in Italy and abroad, Colonel Brini thus assumes the 64th command term at the helm of one of the most emblematic and celebrated units in Italian military history.
In the presence of the highest military and civilian authorities and the civic banners of the municipalities in the area, the handover of the War Flag between Carlà and Brini formally renewed the commitment to uphold the values, sense of duty and spirit of service that have always distinguished the Dimonios of the Brigata "Sassari".
