Disaster Relief Ribbon

Product overview

The Nastrino Interventi Pubbliche Calamità is a service ribbon for members of the Italian Armed Forces, Guardia di Finanza, Croce Rossa and civilian Defence personnel who took part in disaster relief operations. It is intended for collectors, uniform wearers, and organisations that need an accurate, regulation-format ribbon for duty or ceremonial use.

Definition: a regulation-format recognition ribbon awarded for participation in public disaster relief operations. This ribbon is suitable for military ribbon displays, tactical and police uniform presentation, and military surplus collections.

Main features

Designed to match official appearance and available in multiple formats and attachment options to fit common ribbon mounts and uniform needs.

• Regulation flat format matching official size and look.
• Elite domed variant ("bombata Elite") for a refined, slightly raised finish.
• Rear attachment options selectable as clamps or screws for secure fitting.
• Multiple mounting options can be fitted on two- or multi-place metal ribbon bars (portanastrini).
• Available sizes 37 mm and 20 mm; also sold as loose ribbon for medals in lengths of at least 50 cm.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: wear the ribbon on the service ribbon bar or mount when authorised, or use it in displays and collections as a faithful reproduction of the official ribbon. Select the size and attachment type that match your existing ribbon bar or uniform requirements.

In most cases, the flat 37 mm or 20 mm formats fit standard Italian ribbon bars; choose clamps or screws depending on your portanastrini. The ribbon is useful for ceremonial dress, museum displays, and military surplus retail where accurate presentation matters.

Care and notes

Keep the ribbon clean and stored flat or on a suitable metal base to maintain shape and colour. If you plan to wear it on an official uniform, confirm entitlement with the relevant authority.

• Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Gentle surface cleaning only; avoid harsh chemicals.
• Confirm entitlement before wearing as an official decoration.
• Available in limited quantities — check chosen variant and size before ordering.
