Ed il cappello - a song I like very much, and which I taught my boy scouts some 45 years ago.

Corrections:
capello = hair; cappello = hat.

Additions:
Instead of stellette ... we sang:
E le stiletti ... son portastecchi[ni] = and the stilettoes we carry are our thoothpick holders.
La penna nera ... e la bandiera di noi Alpin' = the black feather we wear is the flag of us Alpnini [mountaineer troops].

The giverna [ammo pouch] can't be the ashtray, it must hold something more substantial. My experience is: cigarette case, tobacco pouch [did it myself]. Compare what Cpt Bluntschli said in Shaw's Men and Arms: Only the young soldiers carry ammunition in their pouches, the old ones chocolate: It is light and highly nutritious.
Short wordlist I made for my convenience:
borraccia (per soldati, cowboy) water-bottle, flask
gavetta (Mil) mess tin
lavandino (del bagno) washbasin (Brit), washbowl (Am); (della cucina) sink
giberna cartridge case
zaino rucksack (Brit), backpack (Am)
dispensa (mobile) sideboard

Ezio - A fine troop you have served in; congratulations. I also had the good luck to be conscrpted into one of the finest batallions of light infantry (only four in the entire army thence).
