Looks like the alpine hat badge for Italian Mountain Troops..
I trained with an Italian Alpine unit in the Dolomites back in 1987. I traded my field jacket for a complete Alpine Uniform to include hat, pants and coat.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.
Morning everyone,
I confirm that it is a badge of the Italian Army for Mountain Artillery.
This example is the soft plastic model, in use since 1961.
The variants were as follows:
-Troop: in black plastic
-NCOs: in golden plastic
-Officers: in embroidered fabric.
Regards
Roberto
