Hi,

 

This is an infantry garrison cap m.1959 officially came into effect in this date and was intended for the ordinary off-duty uniform. It was in use till '70.

 

Probably this is the winter version made of wool, the summer one is made by cotton.

 

Alpini cap is very different.

Thank you.... That must be what the 57 is,post-war... I thought maybe it was the size

57 in this case is the size, if you have a  picture about all the internal stamp we can try to find more info.

Unfortunately, I don't... But I'll see if I can get a better picture of the markings... thanks

 Correction to my earlier post I now would say the badge is for the Infantry and if it is gold then an Non commissioned officer.
