The Company of the Prince's Carabinieri has a military band consisting of twenty-five Carabinieri musicians under the direction of a Senior Warrant Officer.
Since 2014, this formation has been called the "Orchestra of the Prince's Carabinieri".
Although it is an integral part of the unit, the Orchestra is not a separate entity and the Carabinieri who make up the orchestra take part in all the services assigned to the Company and receive the same training as their comrades.
