This original World War II era Italian fascist propaganda tinnie was issued by the Gioventù Italiana del Littorio (GIL), the youth wing of Mussolini’s National Fascist Party. Struck in blackened metal with strong Art Deco and fascist realist design motifs, the badge bears the regime’s slogan “Vinceremo” (“We Will Win”) alongside the rallying cry “COSTI QUEL CHE COSTI DURI QUEL CHE DURI”, translating to “Whatever the cost, however long it takes.” The reverse is maker-marked “Conti Arte Belle – Milano V.G. Bellini”, a known producer of fascist-era insignia. The obverse depicts stylized figures of youth in athletic or militarized poses, referencing GIL gymnastics demonstrations, which were orchestrated as mass displays of fascist discipline and ideology. These tinnies were issued as commemorative or event participation badges, not military awards, but they remain significant symbols of wartime Italian nationalism and the totalitarian mobilization of youth. A sharp and well-preserved example of fascist-era material culture.
