"A me le Guardie!"

The military tradition of the 2^nd Grenadiers started with the old Guards Regiment constituted on 18^th April 1659 and so it is linked to that one of the 1^st Grenadiers.

Founded on 13^th July 1744 as Regiment of Sardinia, in April 1816 it became Guards Hunters Regiment and in 1831 2^nd Hunters Regiment, included in the "Guards" Brigade with the 1^st Grenadiers Regiment.

In 1926, after having retook the name of 2^nd "Grenadiers of Sardinia" Regiment, it was assigned to the 21^st Infantry Brigade; in 1939, along with the 1^st Grenadiers and 13^th Artillery Regiments, it entered the 22^nd "Grenadiers of Sardinia" Division that was dissolved on 10^th September 1943 in Rome.

After the reorganization of the Army, by transformation of the 2^nd Battalion of the dissolved 1^st Regiment, the 2^nd "Cengio" Mechanized Grenadiers Battalion was formed and received the Flag and the traditions of the Regiment. On 19^th October 1992 the Battalion entered the reconstituted 2^nd "Grenadiers of Sardinia" Regiment and in 1996 it was moved to Spoleto (PG).

The War Flag is decorated with a Military Order of Italy, a Golden Medal, three Silver Medals and a Bronze Medal to the Military Valour and a Bronze Medal to the Army Valour. Today it is preserved by the Brigade Commander, awaiting the Regiment will be moved to Spoleto (PG).
