Dear all,
As I lack some knowledge on Italian culture and associations I would appreciate if someone could translate and describe the text on a medal.
On the back it says: F.I.G.C. (VII ZONA) “COPPA EMILIA” and you can see a soccer shoe and a goal. My guess is that F.I.G.C. is a kind of soccer institute in a certain zone and this medal was awarded to the winners of the Coppa Emillia?
If I am totally wrong, you can see I am no soccer fan…
On the front there is Mussolini with the text: IL FONDATORE DELL’IMPERO.
I can translate that: the founder of the empire. However it is to me strange to put that text on a soccer medal.
If someone knows more, please let me know.
