Kingdom Of The South
The Kingdom of the South ( Italian: ''Regno del Sud'') is a term which is used in historiography to describe the Kingdom of Italy (initially Pietro Badoglio and later Ivanoe Bonomi as prime ministers) under the control of the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories in southern Italy in the latter of World War II from 1943 to 1944, as opposed to the German occupation of northern and central Italy, where the Italian Social Republic was established. Strictly speaking, the term is used with reference to the period between September 1943, when King Victor Emmanuel III and the government fled Rome to Brindisi in the aftermath of the Armistice of Cassibile until Rome was liberated by the Allies on June 1944 and resumed its function as capital of Italy. However, its use is often extended to cover the period up to 1945 and the end of the war, that is, the entire period that Italy remained divided, during which time the Italian government, although it had re-established its ...

FERT
FERT (sometimes tripled, ''FERT, FERT, FERT'') is the motto of the royal House of Savoy and Kingdom of Italy. The motto was adopted by Duke Vittorio Amedeo II (1666–1732). Several interpretations exist. It appeared for the first time on the collar of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunciation, or ''Ordine Supremo della Santissima Annunziata'', the primary dynastic order of the kingdom. This ceased to be a national order when Italy became a republic in 1946. The order remains under the jurisdiction of the head of the House of Savoy, however, as hereditary Sovereign and Grand Master.
