Does someone know more about this medal . I only know it is a medal from the Mussolini period and as an award for a shooting contest I presume ? What does the text say?

Cheers,
Benten

Recto: Vittorio Emanuele III

Verso: Regio Esercito - Gare di Tiro = Royal Army - Shooting Matches

No visible indication of the year but it should be during the "Ventennio", i.e. during Mussolini rule, since on the background there is a Fascio Littorio.

Best regards
