While WWII medal folks are on this board, can you identify this one? This comes from the same man in WWII. The family story was that it came from an Italian soldier killed in the war. I was told it was presented by the Union of Fascist Families and each bow on the ribbon represented a child. I tried a google and eBay search but couldn't find one like this. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Classic...The medal shown was intended to be awarded to Italian submarine Captains. The text on the medal itself translates to "Chicken Of The Sea".
