On Monday 7 November, at 11.55 a.m., the two uniforms had a brief ‘face to face’ meeting. In a precise choreography, white gave way to blue and black. The winter uniforms consist of blue trousers, a black jacket and red trim.
The Carabinieri will change uniforms again when the weather turns warmer, in May.
