The black feather is worn by the bersaglieri, which founded as a light infantry with high marksmanship standards and originally was used to shade the sun from their eyes when shooting.
I have this set and the one that came with the small field gun. They came on thick part trees. Took some work to clip them and then file down the excess plastic. Well worth the effort though, never had Italian soldiers before.
there are 3 different 1/32 scale ww2 italian sets from this brand...this infantry set, and two folgore division (airborne) sets, the one you mentioned with the cannon and another one without cannon and different figures...the two folgore sets have the same artwork on the box so it can be confusing
