The 2nd Bersaglieri Regiment (Italian: 2° Reggimento Bersaglieri) is an inactive unit of the Italian Army last based in Legnano in Lombardy. The regiment is part of the army's infantry corps' Bersaglieri speciality and was last operationally assigned to the Armored Brigade "Centauro". The regiment was formed in 1861 by the Royal Italian Army with preexisting battalions. During World War I the regiment served on the Italian front.[4]
During World War II the regiment fought in the Greco–Italian War and then served on occupation duty in Albania and Greece. In 1976 the regiment's flag and traditions were assigned to the 2nd Bersaglieri Battalion "Governolo". On 2 September 2002 the regiment was disbanded and its flag transferred to the Shrine of the Flags in the Vittoriano in Rome.
