Great subject and a terrific start to this line

Whilst for me all of the Austrian figs are destined to fight in Hungary, my co-commissioner is geared to fighting The Italian campaigns.....we are collaborating on those figs that fulfil both our needs.

For Italian irregular militia Gringos40 have their Picciotti, Sardinians can be used from Foundrys Crimean range as long as you dont mind the fact they arecsnall 28mm

The Picciotti of gringo's (very beautiful) are useful for some of the irregular formation but not for all (even the Neapolitan troops can be used)

The Annex depicting various groups of volunteers.

the 1848 Piedmontese army uniform differs from that of the Crimean foundry.
here a link to an italian reenactment group:

the difference is evident in the epaulettes

It 'also available a book of Quinto Cenni drawings (third link) some of these boards are available in internet (type: Qunito Outline tables). Unfortunately I know of no other books or are discontinued.
