Italy, Kingdom, gold medal commemorating the launch of the motor vessel Orazio, second quarter of the 20th century, 20 mm Struck in gold, 20 mm in diameter, 4.4 grams, in excellent condition. The Orazio was an Italian ocean liner from the interwar period, owned by Navigazione Generale Italiana and later by Italia Società di Navigazione. It was destroyed by fire off Toulon in January 1940, resulting in the loss of 108 lives; in terms of loss of life, the sinking ranks as the fourth-worst peacetime maritime disaster in Italian history, after those of the Principessa Mafalda, Sirio, and Moby Prince. However, it was quickly forgotten due to Italy’s entry into the war a few months later.
