Between Room Three and Four, along the route, this same De Stefani made with Giuseppe Vizzotto Alberti, a first series of the ten Ritratti di uniformi dell’Armata Sarda del 1859, (Paintings of the uniforms of the Sardinian Army of 1859), inspired by watercolours supplied by Quinto Cenni of Imola and drawn with dry, clean brushstrokes carefully giving each figure the necessary descriptive and chromatic clarity. Among these first uniforms, we find those of:

Maggiore della Brigata Granatieri di Sardegna (Major of the Sardinian Grenadier Brigade)
