“The victorious Italian army issued a campaign medal to commemorate the occasion. The “Ethiopian Campaign Medal for 1936” was designed by the artist V. Peronne and by the sculptor and artist Giuseppe Romagnoli, whose name also appears on the medal.

Royal Decree N: 1150 instituted the medal on April 27, 1936. Measuring 33.5mm, it was awarded to those troops who were engaged, either directly or indirectly, in the campaign in Italian East Africa. Although initially presented to those troops who took part in the campaign between 1935 and 1936, the medal continued to be awarded to those who served in the theatre until Italy declared war against France and Britain in June 1940.”
