Unidentified Help With Identifiying Uniform

[Leutnant]

Hello all,

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me identify the unifrom in the attached photo of a portrait I recently acquired. Any help as to nationality, rank, branch of service, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

The uniform looks to be WW1 Italian

[Markgraf]

Italian Army Infantry soldier. The collar indicates the Friuli Infantry Brigade (87. and 88. Infantry Regiments). Enlisted or lower NCO, the rank insignia were on the sleeves.

After 1908 the dark blue uniform used for ceremonial purposes only

[Leutnant]

Thank you for the information, it is greatly appreciated.
