    Hello friends,

    I would like to receive your precious help to be able to identify and date these 3 old commemorative medals.
    They are quite large, as you can see, and the material should be copper or bronze, however they are all very heavy and thick.

    Thank you all

    The Centro Nazionale di Studi di Musica Popolare (CNSMP; Italian: "National Centre for Folk Music Studies") is a scholarly center for music studies in Italy. It is housed on the premises of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome.

    The CNSMP was founded in 1948

    The reverse says it celebrates the 15th year of its work; obverse gives dates 1948 - 1962. Think is would be fair to date this one to 1962.

    The one featured in the next to last picture commemorates the anniversary of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1979.

    EDIT - to make sure the reference is grammatically correct - "commemorates the 1979 anniversary of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius."

    The other one with Sniped. Bakers has it: 1900 years after eruption in 79 that buried Pompeii, Oplontis &___ Can't read the other word. Herculaneum?

    Yes - Herculaneum. (Ah, the things you still remember from HS Latin classes.)
