Order of the Rose aka Order of the Rosy Cross aka Sovereign Order of the Blue Cross; based in Italy and France during 1930's-50's; re-established 1970's-2000?  A private organization organized and offered this award for 'charitable' contributions...  Insignia marketed by at least Alberti and Johnson, both manufacturers with Milan & Rome offices.  This example looks to be 1950's production.  Sometimes similar examples offered in European militaria auctions or dealer's lists under variant names.  Check Internet 'self-styled orders' topic for information/images.
