7th CC.NN. Division "Cirene"

The division's commander was Lieutenant General Guido Scandolara.

The division was deployed in Libya during the war against Abyssinia to threaten the Suez Canal should the British close it to Italian traffic.

It was never deployed to Abyssinia, but was considered to take part in the campaign.

It actually acted as a local garrison and engaged in various construction projects.
