84th Infantry Regiment "Venezia"
inactive Italian Army infantry unit
The 84th Infantry Regiment "Venezia" (Italian: 84° Reggimento Fanteria "Venezia") is an inactive unit of the Italian Army last based in Falconara Marittima. The regiment is named for the city of Venice and part of the Italian Army's infantry arm.
The regiment was one of sixteen infantry regiments formed on 1 November 1884. In 1911–12 the regiment participated in the Italo-Turkish War and during World War I the regiment fought on the Italian front. In 1935–36 the regiment participated in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and in 1939 in the Italian invasion of Albania. During World War II the regiment was assigned to the 19th Infantry Division "Venezia", with which it participated in the Greco-Italian War. Afterwards the division was on occupation duty in Montenegro, where the division was informed of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943. The Venezia division refused German demands to surrender and joined the Yugoslav National Liberation Army instead. From 13 October 1943 the division fought against German forces and in December 1943 its personnel entered the Partisan Division "Garibaldi". For its conduct in Montenegro after the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile the regiment was awarded Italy's highest military honor the Gold Medal of Military Valor.

Why this record matters
The phrase “inactive Italian Army infantry unit” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3599989. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1884, 1911, 1935 and 1939.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
