The Italian Air Force is the air force of the Italian Republic. The Italian Air Force was founded as an independent service arm on 28 March 1923 by King Victor Emmanuel III as the Regia Aeronautica (“Royal Air Force”). After World War II, when Italy became a republic following a referendum, the Regia Aeronautica was given its current name.
