The Venezia division refused German demands to surrender and joined the Yugoslav National Liberation Army instead.

[2][3] In 1895-96 the regiment provided eleven officers and 239 enlisted for units deployed to Italian Eritrea for the First Italo-Ethiopian War.

Three days later the regiment withstood a ferocious Turkish attack at Bu Meliana near Tripoli, for which it was awarded a Gold Medal of Military Valor.

At the time the 84th Infantry Regiment consisted of three battalions, each of which fielded four fusilier companies and one machine gun section.

After Italy's entry into the war on 23 May 1915 the Brigade "Venezia" was deployed to the Italian front: in 1915 the regiment operated against Austro-Hungarian forces in the Valsugana valley and on the slopes of Monte Salubio.

In September 1917 the brigade was transferred to the Banjšice plateau where the it fought in the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo in the area of Madoni.

For their conduct during the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo the two regiments of the Brigade "Venezia" were both awarded a Silver Medal of Military Valor.

[2][6][8][9] At the outbreak of World War II the regiment consisted of a command, a command company, three fusilier battalions, a support weapons battery equipped with 65/17 infantry support guns, and a mortar company equipped with 81mm Mod.

After the Invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941 the division moved to Podgorica in Montenegro and then in August to Berane in the Montenegrin Sandžak on anti-partisan duty.

[2][6][8] After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943, the German 118th Jäger Division and Yugoslav Chetniks demanded the Venezia disarm, but both were refused.

The Venezia assembled at Berane and on 10 October the division entered the 2nd Corps of Tito's National Liberation Army.

On 13 October 1943 the division began an offensive against Wehrmacht forces in Brodarevo, Murina, Berane and Kolašin.

[2][6][8][10] For fighting against the Germans in Montenegro and the Sandžak the regiments of the Venezia division were awarded a Gold Medal of Military Valor.

[1][2][8][11][12][13] On 1 July 1958 the 84th Infantry Regiment "Venezia" was reformed by renaming the existing 7th Recruits Training Center in Siena.
