Description

This Mussolini signed document is an authentic, historically significant artifact from interwar Italy dated June 16, 1927. This official manuscript decree is signed by Benito Mussolini and features the Vittorio Emanuele III signature at the conclusion, reflecting the joint authority of Italy’s Head of Government and reigning monarch during the royal era.

Issued as an Italian military decree, the one-page document (approx. 9.5″ x 14.5″) appoints officer cadet Rizzi Alessio as second lieutenant in the engineering corps, with seniority from June 16, 1927, pursuant to law no. 559 (March 11, 1926) and subsequent royal regulations. Penned in Italian with formal bureaucratic phrasing, it retains excellent legibility and presents in fine condition, showing only the expected binding slits along the left edge from original filing.

For collectors of historic political memorabilia, this piece captures a pivotal moment when royal authority intersected with fascist power, offering a direct link to policy and personnel decisions of the Italian state. The decree’s language, legal citations, and inked countersignatures provide superb context for display and research.

A museum-worthy dual-signed collectible, professionally preserved and ready for archival framing, this document delivers outstanding provenance cues and visual appeal: crisp calligraphy, official formatting, and two period ink signatures. An exceptional opportunity for advanced collections of European history, executive authority, and 20th-century governmental paperwork.
