This large bronze commemorative medal was issued in 1994 in Rome in honor of Blessed Giuseppina Vannini, founder of the Daughters of Saint Camillus. The obverse presents a solemn portrait with her life dates, while the reverse combines Christian symbolism, architectural imagery, and Latin devotional inscriptions emphasizing charity and service to the sick. With its substantial 60 mm diameter and heavy bronze weight, the medal is a powerful example of late 20th-century Italian religious medallic art.
