Formation
The Cuneense division was constituted on 31 October 1935 through the reorganization of the existing 5th Superior Alpini Command. The headquarter of the division was in the city of Cuneo and the majority of its soldiers were drafted from the surrounding valleys - hence the name "Cuneense".
