First World War Medals and their wear under Fascism

Hi Everyone,

I have a World War I Italian medal group that I'd like to have mounted correctly. Does anyone have an Order of Precedence chart for Italian War Medals during the Kingdom of Italy period?

While trying to find this out, it occurred to me that I don't think I've ever seen the Italian version of the Interallied Victory Medal (Medaglia interalleata della vittoria) being worn by soldiers (either the ribbon or the medal) during the Fascist period where they are otherwise wearing other World War I service medals.

Was this official policy or did it just fall out of favour due to its connection with the Western allies?

Cheers

Standing to Regio Decreto n° 273, 31 January 1926, the wearing of that medal is not admitted, neither by army nor by Milizia.
Here you can see the correct order of all military decorations:
