AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare metal badge with fired enamel for the 1944 Winter Olympics that were to be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1944 (the venue chosen in 1939) and never took place because Italy and the world were at war. Nevertheless, several preparations were made up to 1941 (because Italy hoped for and was convinced the war would end) by studying and setting up slopes, equipment, and organizing Olympic villages, etc. All these studies, preparations, and set-ups were not at all in vain because they served for the Olympics held in Cortina in 1956.
Excellent condition of the badge (as shown in the photo). Manufacturer: F.lli Lorioli Milano (the back plate is signed as shown in the photo).
Dimensions: diameter 2.8 cm.
Low reserve price.
Original vintage piece.
Fast and super protected shipping.
