The Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana) is Italy’s highest state decoration, established on March 3, 1951. It is awarded to both Italian citizens and foreign nationals for significant contributions in the fields of literature, the arts, economy, philanthropy, as well as social and humanitarian activities.

The award is presented by the President of Italy with the consent of the Prime Minister and is typically conferred twice a year – on June 2 (Republic Day) and December 27 (Constitution Day).
