The division was formed in October 1939 and in June 1940, was part of the First Army (Italy) and took part in the Italian invasion of France. Afterwards it was moved to Albania for the Greco-Italian War. After the Greek surrender the division remained in Greece as an occupying force based around Athens. The Division surrendered to the German forces in Greece after the Italian surrender in September 1943. Mountain Divisions are not to be confused with the "Alpini" specialized mountain troops. The Mountain divisions had pack horse artillery instead of the usual towed type.

The men that formed this division were drafted in the Langhe, a geographical region in southern Piedmont.
