"Portret van twee Italiaanse militairen (Bersaglieri)" is a small-scale photographic portrait by Giuseppe Marzocchini depicting two Italian soldiers in uniform. The photograph dates from between 1860 and 1880 and was likely taken in a studio. The soldiers, members of the Bersaglieri, are posed in a relaxed manner, suggesting a personal portrait rather than a formal military record.
