Note: An Italian Fascists Medallion associated with The Italian School of Scotland refers to medals, including gold and silver ones, awarded by Fascists Italy   to encourage educational and sports achievements within schools like the one in Scotland. These medals were a tool of propaganda to promote Italianità, or Italian identity and loyalty to the Fascist regime. After Mussolini’s proclamation of the Empire in 1936, these prizes, alongside textbooks with Fascist imagery and speeches, began to be distributed
