Hi all, could one of you help me in translating the text on the below items (the same text on both items). Below text (Latin/Italian?) is according to my interpretation referring to a new law as set on an international congress in Rome.
So if anyone can tell me what it actually says, or even know to what congress it is referring, it would make me very grateful.

it's Latin...it means more or less:

"Hospital Society. The health of the sick is the supreme law"

(second part in Italian: IV International Congress Rome May 1935)

@Lup Solitario; thank you for your translation!!

I find it a strange text for a medal..., especially for a fascist one.

Is anyone familiar with this congress?

Maybe it was a congress on health or something like that.

Why do you think it is a strange text??

@Folgore; to me, it is a strange text because it is not really matching with Fascist slogans of that time.

Greetings,

Ok Sparviero.I understand.

Well...I think that Fascist propaganda and influence weren't so strong even in a medical conference...and consider the two fasces, the wolf with Romolo and Remo..clear fascist symbols :D
