The 59th Mountain Infantry Division Cagliari was an infantry division of the Italian Army during World War II. As part of the Italian I Corps, the Cagliari participated in the Italian invasion of France in June 1940. It remained in France until September when it returned home to Italy. In January 1941, it was sent to Albania and then joined the Italian VIII Corps for the Greco-Italian War. It remained in Greece as an occupation force until the Italian surrender to the Allies in September 1943. Mountain divisions are not to be confused with the "Alpini" specialized mountain troops. The mountain divisions had pack horse artillery instead of the usual towed type.
