Italy Medal 'LIBIA' with 1917-1918 ribbon clasp

[j-sk]

Good evening Gentlemen,

I have recently seen an Italian medal for the campaign in Libya sporting a 1917-1918 ribbon clasp.

Could those soldiers entitled to this medal also be involved in operations in WW1 in Europe or were they "only" engaged in this colonial campaign?

In other words, were they also entitled to the WW1 trio "1915-1918", "Interallied" and "Unità d'Italia" medals?

If this is the case, what is the order of precedence on a "medagliere" (does the "Libia" medal precedes the "1915-1918" medal or is it placed after "l'Unità d'Italia")?

And, last but not least, does someone receiving the "Libia" with 1917-1918 clasp also gets the "1915-1918" medal with both 1917 and 1918 clasps?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

All the best,

Jean-Samuel Karlen.
