The 7th Infantry Division "Lupi di Toscana" (Italian: 7ª Divisione di fanteria "Lupi di Toscana" English: Wolves of Tuscany) was an infantry division of the Royal Italian Army during World War II. The Division, with the exception of the 78th Infantry Regiment based in Bergamo, was based in Brescia. Despite its name referencing the region of Tuscany, the division was formed by men from Lombardy, especially from Brescia, Bergamo and the surrounding valleys.[2]
