Badge of the Italian campaign in Greece and Albania

On Saturday I went to Militalia Novegro, as I expected there was a lot of interesting stuff but the prices were really out of the ordinary.
For goodness sake you have a chance to see the goods live and deal with traders, but I think, in these times of crisis, if not slightly lower prices for collecting military will become wealthy few.
Finally I saw that the bulk of the material shown was of German origin, at least 70%, possible that everyone will be looking exclusively Nazi objects?
Anyway I could not come home with nothing, and I found something.
I bought this pin of the Italian expedition in Greece and Albania, and a treatise on the 111th Line Infantry in the service of Napoleon for 30 €.
It was established May 13, 1942 by ministerial N ° 356 and was given to all those who had fought for at least 3 months on the front greek-Albanian-Yugoslav October 28, 1940 April 23, 1941, by regulation was brought above the ribbons on his chest left.
As for the other badges there are several variants,this is produced by Boeri Roma, was also produced by Johnson from Milan to Rome and Fratelli Lorioli from Milan.
There are versions of unmarked and some with no sign Fascist created after the war.
These last two are logically rarest and also the prices may be higher.
The phrase means the obverse: Albania to the victorious soldiers of Rome.
