San Marco Battalion

The Italianminifig minifigure represents the marine infantryman of the 1st Regiment of the San Marco Battalion.

The minifigure of the unit specializing in amphibious operations and maritime security support— featuring a highly detailed uniform with 360° printing on an original LEGO piece — is sold complete with a tactical helmet.

The 1st San Marco Regiment is the operational core of the San Marco Marine Brigade, the amphibious force of the Italian Navy. This prestigious unit represents the elite of the Italian Marine Infantry, specializing in amphibious operations, force projection, maritime security, counterterrorism, and special operations, intervening in both national and international missions.

A defining characteristic of these troops is their operational readiness, making them an essential asset for national defense and international security.

The origins of the 1st San Marco Regiment date back to World War I, when the San Marco Battalion distinguished itself in the defense of Venice, earning a reputation for courage and discipline. Since then, the regiment has participated in numerous missions, from World War II to modern NATO, UN, and EU operations.

The 1st San Marco Regiment proudly bears the Winged Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of its historical tradition and loyalty to the nation. Its motto, "Per mare, per terram" (By sea, by land), highlights its ability to operate both at sea and on land, with efficiency and determination, making the regiment a fundamental component of the Italian Navy.
