BrigadeFolgore.net is back online with a completely revamped site, ready to become the reference point for Paratroopers of all eras. With a modern platform and enriched by numerous dedicated sections, available to anyone wishing to explore the history, missions, units and activities of the Heroic Brigade.
With a modern platform and a series of dedicated sections, the site is a real hub for anyone who wants to learn about the history, missions, departments and activities of the elite unit par excellence of the Italian Army and beyond.
Folgore, wards and missions
The sections of the site dedicated to the Folgore are intended as a tribute to the rich history of the Brigade, from the legendary Battle of El Alamein up to the present day, spanning engagements in Lebanon, i Sicilian Vespers, the Somalia, l'Afghanistan and all missions to which the Folgore participated. This space is dedicated not only to military history enthusiasts but also to those who wish to understand the evolution and strategic importance of the Brigade in the context of international operations. Browsing through the site, visitors can explore each department that makes up the Brigade, discovering the peculiarities, skills, stories and courage of the paratroopers through books and texts as well as the music inspired by their heroic deeds.
Special Forces
A section is dedicated to Special Forces, offering an insight into the elite units operating in the most risky and complex missions, demonstrating Italian excellence in the context of special operations. For 50 years, the Folgore has dealt with special operations on behalf of the Italian Army thanks to the 9th Assault Regiment Col Moschin and the 185TH RRAO in recent years. The evolution of the Italian Army allowed these departments to transit, in 2014, together with the 4th Regiment Alpini Parachutists, under a single unit at Brigade level, the COMFOSE (Army Special Forces Command). We therefore felt it was our duty, not least because of the context in which they operate, namely as highly strategic departments for the nation's interest and defence, to dedicate a section to them.
The uniform of others
'La divisa degli altri' is the space where curiosity meets admiration for other Italian military specialities. A journey through departments that, although different from us, share the same spirit of sacrifice and dedication for the Fatherland. Alpini, Bersaglieri, Lagunari, Infantrymen of the Sassari e Carristians of Brigade Ariete.
News, News and Blogs
One of the new features of the site is the news section, which hosts the blog and the news with original articles and insights into the Brigade, the defence and security world.
Paraca Zone: the Community
"Paraca area"represents the beating heart of our site: a social space where parachutists of all ages can meet, share experiences, memories and create a network of support and brotherhood. A virtual community that reflects the esprit de corps and belonging that has always characterised Folgore parachutists. in the section FamilyFolgore you will be able to search for your fellow soldiers by patent number, department, step number, etc. In FotoFolgore you can upload photos of your time in the Heroic Brigade.
Conclusion
The new site brigatafolgore.net is not only an information platform but a meeting place for those who, in and out of uniform, feel pride and passion for the Folgore Parachute Brigade. A project that, while respecting the glorious history of our unit, looks to the future, promoting the culture of defence and the value of service for Italy.
Welcome to the new era of brigatafolgore.net!
