The Order of Merit for Labour
"Ordine al Merito del Lavoro" - is an Italian order of chivalry that was founded in 1923 by King Vittorio Emanuele III. It is awarded to those "who have been singularly meritorious" in agriculture, industry and commerce, crafts, lending and insurance
On the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the establishment of the Order, the book on the history of the orders of chivalry and the use of honorifics was created. The objective is to explain the Order of Merit for Labour in an accessible way, and represent the high recognition to deserving entrepreneurs in the national and international business scenario.
The book was created in a limited edition.
In addition to having created the layouts of the entire book, I designed the representation of part of the orders and medals and then vectorialized them.
In addition to the book, I took care of the creation of a manual on the regulations for the use of honorifics on formal occasions, on the titles reserved for authorities and the closing formulas for formal correspondence.
