The Artillery Brigade has got its roots in a series of commands that had directive functions for the artilleries assigned to the 5^th Army Corps. The first unit to fulfill that assignment was the 3^rd Rockets Brigade, constituted on 1^st October 1959 and renamed 3^rd "Aquileia" Rockets Brigade in 1977 with functions of Artillery Command for the 5^th Army Corps.

On 1^st October 1982 those duties passed to the Artillery Command (constituted in Vittorio Veneto as part of the 5^th Army Corps Command) and on 30^th November 1997 to the Artillery Group Command, become Artillery Group Command of the Operational Land Forces on 1^st December 1997, with five artillery regiments at its dependencies.

After reorganization measures in the early twenty-first century, the Artillery Brigade was organized into four regiments.

The Artillery School was originated from the "Shooting Central School of Artillery", constituted on 1^st July 1888 in Nettuno.

On 9^th August 1910 it was divided into two different schools, the Artillery Central School of Campaign in Nettuno and the Artillery School of Fortress in Bracciano. In 1920 the two schools merged into one school, the Artillery Central School in Bracciano.

Moved to Civitavecchia in 1925, except for a Specialists training group, it was divided again into two parts in 1927 with the headquarters in Nettuno.

In 1945 it was transferred back to Bracciano, unified into one Institute called at first Artillery Training Regiment and Artillery School after one year.

In 1948, after the formation of the 1^st Complement cadet Officers Battery, the School became an training Institute for Complement Supervisors constituting a new specialty in 1951 with the Army Light Aviation Unit that in 1958 was transferred to Viterbo and it formed the A​rmy Aviation. On 2^nd May1976 two groups were formed: the 1^st "Cacciatore delle Alpi" Campaign Artillery Group, heir of the impetuously traditions of the 1^st Artillery Regiment from which it receive the War Flag, and the 18^th "Gran Sasso" Campaign Artillery Group on the base of the 1^st Group of the 13^th Artillery. The two units were flanked by the AUC Group for the training of the Cadet Officers and Cadet Non-Commissioned Officers, the Specialists Group and a Support Unit.

In June 1981, after the suppression of the Artillery School for Cadet Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers in Foligno (PG), the 18^th was dissolved and changed into AUC Group, while the 1^st became the demonstrative group of the School.

Other additional reorganizations led up to the suppression of the Specialists Group and the Support Unit that was reconstituted when the two AUC Groups became one single training body.

On 12^th November 1999 the 1^st "Cacciatore delle Alpi" Artillery Group was dissolved and its Flag came back to the Shrine of Flags at the Altare della Patria in Rome. The School was organized in a Training Group and a Support Group.

From 1^st October 1997 to September 2009, the School carried out command activities at the Training and Experimentation Centre for the Anti-Aircraft of Sabaudia (RM).​
