Mountain troops style cap for an Officer of the Fasci Giovanili di Combattimento, fascist youth organization. The F.G.C. were founded by the Grand Council of Fascism on 8 October 1930 to complete the training of boys and girls from 18 to 21 years old, no longer under the control of the Opera Nazionale Balilla. The boys, called “Avanguardisti” and the girls, called Giovani Fasciste, were obliged to participate in all fascist gatherings. Their education concerned pre-educating training for males, while females were taught suitable for their function in the future family and in the first aid. The cap, of excellent production quality, is marked inside with the name of the manufacturer. The rank of Capomanipolo (lieutenant) and the front badge are embroidered in gold. Medium-large size, excellent conditions.
