This prayer carries the values of the Alpine Corps and the ancient mountain tradition. Merges the Prayer and Fresco lines in an exclusive tribute to memory. The text of the Prayer surrounds the entire hood and is enriched by the image of the hat with the black feather, one of the best known and certainly the most representative symbol for the Alpini. The decoration performed on real plaster is able to bring out all the details, colors, and elements in a harmonious way giving rise to a unique product that holds deep meaning.

Prayer of the Alpine Man

On the bare rocks, on the perennial glaciers, on every crag of the Alps where providence has placed us as the faithful bulwark of our districts, we, purified by duty dangerously performed, lift our souls to Thee, O Lord, who protect our mothers, our wives, our children and distant brothers, and help us to be worthy of the glories of our ancestors.

Almighty God, who rules all the elements, saves us, armed as we are with faith and love. Save us from the relentless frost, from the whirlwinds of the blizzard, from the rush of the avalanche, let our footing stand secure on the vertiginous ridges, on the straight walls, beyond the insidious crevasses, make our weapons strong against anyone who threatens our Homeland, our Flag, our millennial Christian civilization.

And Thou, Mother of God, whiter than snow, Thou who hast known and collected every suffering and every sacrifice of all fallen Alpini, Thou who know and collect every yearning and every hope of all Alpini alive and in arms. You bless and smile on our Battalions and Groups. So be it.
