benten Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 On this little badge is probably depicted the portrait of Garibaldi. I presume it is WW2 Italian patriotic.Garibaldi was the legendaric man of the Unity of Italy??Is this badge also related to unity of Italy, perhaps during the end of WW2, when Italy was separated; the south was already in allied hands and the north under German/ Mussolini ? Or is the badge more general patriotic?Common or scarce, has it value?Any information is welcome.Benten
italianpolitic Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Hi, I read only now this post.The badge is for Fronte Democratico Popolare (Popular Democratic Front), a political party born in 1948 in Italy, in combination from PCI Partito Comunista Italiano (Italian Communist Party) & PSI Partito Socialista Italiano (Italian Socialist Party). They loose the political election & close the front. There is many different badge of this movement (I have more of 20 types). The value is low.Bruno
