ANPd’I Napoli opens 2027 membership registration: Open Day on Saturday, November 14, to learn about the Section
The Associazione Nazionale Paracadutisti d’Italia (ANPd’I), Sezione di Napoli, has officially opened membership registration for 2027 and is organizing an Open Day for members, enthusiasts, and anyone wishing to discover the world of Italian Parachutists and the values that have shaped their history and traditions.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and is open to full, associate, and supporting members.
The initiative offers an opportunity to gain a firsthand understanding of Naples’ association, explore its activities and projects, and meet those whose commitment helps keep the traditions of Italian Parachutists alive.
An opportunity to learn about ANPd’I and its activities
During the day, participants will be able to learn about the initiatives promoted by the Sezione di Napoli, its association programs, and the ideals that unite different generations of Parachutists.
The Open Day will also provide an opportunity to formally submit membership applications for 2027, joining a community that safeguards and passes on the values of Italian military parachuting.
The Associazione Nazionale Paracadutisti d’Italia plays an important role in preserving the historical memory of airborne troops, promoting military traditions, and strengthening ties among those who have served and those who share the same ideals.
The ANPd’I Sezione di Napoli is led by Paracadutista Vincenzo Palumbo, formerly of the XV Compagnia “Diavoli Neri” of the 186° Reggimento Paracadutisti “Folgore”, who is committed to promoting the traditions, historical memory, and values of Italian airborne troops.
Under his leadership, the Naples Section has promoted association and commemorative initiatives, strengthening its ties with the local area and the military community.
Among the most significant moments in the association’s life were the inauguration of its new headquarters in November 2025, attended by Italian Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Carmine Masiello, and the subsequent dedication of the Section, in March 2026, to Parachutist Lieutenant Colonel Gianfranco Paglia, Medaglia d’Oro al Valor Militare.
Palumbo is also committed to preserving the memory of Parachutists and promoting initiatives dedicated to safeguarding sites symbolic of their history, including the fundraising campaign to restore the vandalized Parachutists monument in Val Susa.
We had the opportunity to learn more about President Vincenzo Palumbo and the Naples Chapter in an interview conducted by BrigataFolgore.net, available on our YouTube channel:
The Open Day on November 14 represents another opportunity to meet and share experiences, in the spirit of continuity between generations and commitment to the values of the Specialty.
Love of Country, esprit de corps, loyalty and remembrance: Saturday, November 14
The Naples Chapter looks ahead to the new association year with the intention of continuing its journey through initiatives, activities and projects to be carried out together.
At the heart of its commitment remain the principles that have always defined the paratrooper community: love of Country, esprit de corps, loyalty and remembrance.
These values represent a shared heritage, capable of bringing together different generations and keeping alive the bond with the history and traditions of the Specialty.
The Open Day will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at 20 Via Cesario Console, just steps from Piazza del Plebiscito.
The invitation is open to everyone: paratroopers on active duty and retired, regular members, associate members, supporters and citizens interested in learning about the Association.
The Chapter concludes its invitation with a message that sums up the spirit of the initiative:
«United by the same ideals, ready to look ahead».
