Italian Spanish Civil War Veterans
 
Being that I am not real familiar with the Italian OOB, does anyone have an idea of what units in their 1940-1941 OOB would be best used for representing Spanish Civil War veterans?

I suppose that you are interested to Italians foot soldiers on the Nationalist side.
In this case probably the best choice are the BlackShirts (CamicieNere, CCNN in spww2 oob): they were (about) half of the Italian CTV (Corpo Truppe Volontarie -> Corps of Volunteer Troops ) that fought in Spain.

Thanks to Mcgerm and GyJeX from NWI for their fundamental inputs to this answer.

A couple Weakipedia(!) links (at least good for a kick-off):
