(x) An interesting 'Battle of Asiago 1916' Al Valore group of four awarded to Captain B. Di Vecchia, Italian Army, who was twice wounded during the Great War

Italy, Kingdom, Al Valore Militare, silver issue (DiVecchia Bernadino Altipiano di Asiago 18-Giugno-1916); Al Valore Militare, bronze issue (Di Vechhia Bernadino Macedonia, 9 Maggio 1917.); Great War Medal (2), very fine (4)

Bernadino Di Vecchia was born on 20 June 1895 at Sant'Eufemia a Maiella, Abruzzo and had a scar across his left cheek. He was twice wounded during the Great War and earned the Silver and Bronze Al Valore Medal, besides the War Medal with five Stars. It seems likely that the recipient emigrated to South America, as this Lot has been consigned from a client in Brazil; sold together with his original, rather worn, Identity Card, which features his photograph.

Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
