Italian military records are kept by military districts. The archive of the military district stores the records. Most military districts are within the geographical boundaries of a province. A province can have up to three military districts, and in rare cases a military district may encompass two provinces. | |||
A copy of the records is held at the archive of the tribunale (court). After 75 years, this copy is moved to the provincial archives and made available to the public. Each provincial archive has the records of the military district within its provincial boundaries. | |||
Military records can be of great genealogical value, and the Family History Library has begun to microfilm them. As of 2008, the library has the following records: | |||
*Parma, 1820–1915 (province) | |||
*Cosenza, 1842–1901 (province) | |||
*Catania, 1840–1913 (province) | |||
*Gorizia, 1899-1910 and 1908-1926 (province) | |||
*Torino, 1875–1910 (province) | |||
*Bolzano, 1809 (Austrian at the time) | |||
*Piacenza, 1842-1919 (province) | |||
*Pistoia, 1809-1814, 1833-1903 (province) | |||
*Messina, 1870-1902 (city) | |||
*Siracusa, 1874-1900 (province) | |||
