Not from what I understand. The Regiment San Marco is now located at Brindisi and belongs to the Navy. It was previously located at Venice from which it draws its name. San Marco is that city's saint. I don't know when the Italian navy left the Serenissima but I suspect that the Lagunari (amphibious troops belonging to the army) were formed in 1951 as a replacement for them.
In my game both units will be working for Padania (northern Italy). In any case, both units would be (IMO) among the most loyal troops of Italy.
