[edit] Maresciallo d'Italia ?!?

Generale d'Armata is an old rank designation, now is simply Generale (see www.esercito.difesa.it general ranks) (NATO STANAG 2116 OF-9) and is the chief of the Italian Armed Forces. The rank with three stars and one red bordered star is Generale di Corpo d'Armata con incarichi speciali and is an OF-8 (is a special duty of a Generale di Corpo d'Armata, there are tons of such ranks, like Colonnello con incarichi di Generale di Brigata, Colonnello con funzioni di Generale di Brigata, and so. Would you insert all of them?). Maresciallo d'Italia is a rank of the Regio Esercito (Royal Army) not of the Esercito Italiano (Italian Army). --F l a n k e r 17:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

If you refers to gradi_spalline_old.asp, this is an old rank page (the Generale d'Armata rank was abolished since 1947, is clearly written). Please, read and study before post an edit. --F l a n k e r 17:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I've nominated Image:50px-IT-Army-OF10.GIF for deletion because it is not representing a real rank insignia. The rank of Maresciallo d'Italia was an honorary (not only war time) rank of the Kingdom of Italy, not a rank of the Italian Repubblic. Moreover the insigna is wrong. For more informations see it:Maresciallo d'Italia. --F l a n k e r 11:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

PS: here, in the Italian Army home page, there is the real insignia (refferring to 2nd world war, so for the Kingdom Army). You can see that the old insigna of the Kingdom are very different from the new ones of the Republic. The old insignia are used today on the sleeves of the dress or cerimony uniforms. --F l a n k e r 12:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
