Alpini National Meeting L'Aquila 2015

A man wears the traditional feathered hat of the Italian Alpine corp and a T-shirt reading "L'Aquila must back to fly" during the 88th edition of the Alpini meeting, in L'Aquila, on May 14, 2015. The Alpini are an elite mountain welfare military corps of the Italian Army. Every year hundreds of thousands of Alpini congregate with family and friends to an Italian city for a weekend in the late spring to have a good time while remembering the old times. A great entusiasm is accompanying the event. This year from May, 15 to 17 the 88th Alpini National Meeting will take place in L'Aquila, with delegations coming from all over the country.
