Cavaliere Del Lavoro
The Order of Merit for Labour ( it, Ordine al Merito del Lavoro) is an Italian order of chivalry that was founded in 1923 by King Vittorio Emanuele III. It is awarded to those "who have been singularly meritorious" in agriculture, industry and commerce, crafts, lending and insurance. It is a continuation of the earlier ''Ordine al Merito Agrario, Industriale e Commerciale'' founded in 1901. Members of the order may use the title ''Cavaliere del lavoro''. The origins of the order lie with King Umberto I who, in 1898, instituted "a decoration for agricultural and industrial merit and a medal of honour." The first was the exclusive prerogative of large landowners and industrialists, the latter for their employees. This was replaced by the Chivalrous or Knightly Order of Agricultural, Industrial and Commercial Merit in 1901, which was intended by Vittorio Emanuele III to give greater dignity to the earlier award. Awarded in the single degree of Knight, the order is open to all Ita ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
