Cover photograph. The uniform. "cappello" of a brigadier of the Italian Forest Service. The hat used also to sport) an eagle's plume but that privilege is now reserved for the Alpine troops of the regular army. Forest services of most countries tend to he paramilitary formations with high codes of ethics and discipline, but they have their own tradition and organization. The background is a scene in the Italian Dolomites.
