History
The Arma dei Carabinieri (Carabinieri Corps) is the national gendarmerie of Italy, policing both the military and civilian populations.
Carabinieri patrol vehicles are very dark blue with a white roof, the blue has a red stripe along the side. Carabinieri cars can also be identified by license plates beginning with "CC". Traditionally, Carabinieri cars are called Gazzella (gazelle). Small or medium-sized cars are used for ordinary patrol work, with larger and more powerful vehicles being used for emergency response, traffic patrol and special services.
