The 155th Infantry Division Emilia was an infantry division of the Italian Army during the Second World War, formed in December 1941 as a garrison division. Despite this, in April 1942 it was sent to Dalmatia to assist in combat operations against Yugoslav Partisans. After the Italian armistice with the Allies of September 1943, most of the division surrendered to the Germans, but some elements held out until October, while the 155th Artillery Regiment managed to cross the Adriatic to reach Apulia in Southern Italy, where it joined forces with the 104th Motorised Division Mantova.
