Bersagliere was the lead ship of the Soldato-class destroyers of the Italian Regia Marina, named for a member of the Bersaglieri. The Gio. Ansaldo & C. shipyard in Genoa laid her down on 13 July 1905, launched her on 2 October 1906 and completed her on 13 August 1907, and she was commissioned on 5 June 1907. Two sets of triple-expansion steam engines fed by three Thornycroft water-tube boilers gave an estimated 6,000 indicated horsepower and a design speed of 28.5 knots. She first carried 95 tonnes of coal and was later converted to burn fuel oil, with 65 tonnes of capacity. She served in the Italo-Turkish War and the First World War. Reclassified as a torpedo boat on 1 July 1921, she was placed in reserve and decommissioned in 1923, stricken on 5 July 1923 and scrapped.
