From the public domain files of the US National Archives, here is a US Army historical film (No. 1109) procured by the Army Signal Corps with silent scenes of "The Italian Army in the World War" (referring to WWI, not II). Lots of men, materials and weapons are shown, including mule pack trains and cavalry, artillery being moved up steep mountain roads and troops on bicycles, as well as early Italian tanks. Has some actual combat scenes, as well as training and movements. This is really an impressive look at Italian efforts during The Great War.
