A rare officer's scarf of the Hungarian legion dating: about 1860 provenance: Hungary, Made from fabric in the Hungarian national colours, with fine tricolour tassels featuring the embroidered Hungarian coat of arms. The Hungarian Legion was formed in Palermo on 16 July 1860 by decree of Giuseppe Garibaldi. Composed mainly of Hungarian volunteers, it took part in the campaigns for Italian unification. As part of the Southern Army, it belonged to the 15th Division commanded by General Stefano Türr. Following Garibaldi’s expedition, it entered the service of the Italian Army. It was subsequently deployed in operations against brigandage in southern Italy. Disbanded in 1867, it stands as an important testament to foreign participation in the Italian Risorgimento.
