    I am researching about the Italian medals awarded to Italian personnel that fought in the Spanish Civil War. I have Morittu's "Guerre e Decorazioni" and Brambilla's "Medaglie Italiane (2) 1901-1996" but they are collectors-oriented rather than historians-oriented, and the regulations are either barely mentioned or simply absent.

    Researching the web I have found the following books:

    #1 - Le Decorazioni al Valore dei Regni di Sardegna E D'Italia (1793-1946)

    Scarpa, Costantino; Sezanne, Paolo.

    Uffici Storici Esercito. Rome, 1976.

    #2 - Le Decorazioni Del Regno Di Sardegna e Del Regno D'Italia. Le Decorazioni al Merito. Vol. 1

    Scarpa, Costantino; Sezanne, Paolo.

    Uffici Storici Esercito - Marina -Aeronautica. Rome, 1987.

    #3 - Le Decorazioni Del Regno Di Sardegna e Del Regno D'Italia. Le Decorazioni al Merito. Vol. 2

    Scarpa, Costantino; Sezanne, Paolo.

    Uffici Storici Esercito - Marina -Aeronautica. Rome, 1992.

    #4 - Prontuario di Faleristica Ufficiale Italiana

    Sezanne, Paolo.

    Albertelli Editore. Parma, 1993.

    I am interested about the following awards:

    Medaglia d'Oro al Valore Militare / di Marina / Aeronautico

    Medaglia d'Argento al Valore Militare / di Marina / Aeronautico

    Medaglia di Bronzo al Valore Militare / di Marina / Aeronautico

    Croce di Guerra al Valore Militare

    Croce al Merito di Guerra

    Medaglia Benemerenza Volontari Guerra 1915-18 / A. O. I. / Spagna

    Medaglia della Campagna di Spagna

    Which of the books above do fit my needs better? It seems that book #3 deals with peacetime awards, is that true?

    On the other hand, those books seem difficult to find. Could anybody tell me a good source?

    Thanks in advance.
