I'm looking for the translation of the following:
SPEZZEREMO LE RENI ALLA GRECIA
The above is recorded on a medal. The reverse shows:
VICTORIA 1940-41 XIX
Your help in translating the above would be appreciated!
Kind regards,

Literally:
We will brake the kidneys to Greece
on the reverse:
Victory 1940 - 41 XIX (i.e. the ordinal in Roman numbers for 19th year of the Fascist Era (Era Fascista = E.F.))
Best regards

"Reni" may also be a synonym of "back" or "backbone".
