[1] On 10 June 1940, the day Italy entered World War II, the Bergamo was deployed along the border with Yugoslavia in the Rijeka-Brešca-Klana sector.

After Yugoslavia's surrender the division was stationed in Dalmatia and garrisoned Makarska, Livno, Sinj, Ljubuški, Imotski and the island of Brač.

Another surge of fighting with Yugoslav partisans entering the Independent State of Croatia occurred from 9 October to 9 November 1941.

Afterwards the main duties of the Bergamo were coastal defence, road protection and peacekeeping among the local communities.

The aim of Operation Alba was to destroy partisan groups in the Biokovo area 40-50 kilometres east of Split.
