On the lid of the case, inside we find a scroll with the Latin motto printed on it:

" HIC MANEBIMUS OPTIME " - ( Here we will remain excellently/Here we will be very well) , a famous Latin phrase taken from Titus Livius. Gabriele d'Annunzio made it the official motto of the Fiume Enterprise (1919). The Commander used it to declare his firm intention not to abandon the city in the Kvarner Gulf, despite the ultimatums of the Italian government.

The box measures approximately 90x35x35mm, the pin approximately 65mm long, and the emerald approximately 5x5.5mm

The pin was a gift from Gabriele d'Annunzio to Amedeo Pomilio (1882–1961), his fellow countryman, a well-known entrepreneur and industrial pioneer from Abruzzo. Pomilio is historically linked to Gabriele d'Annunzio for two main reasons: family ties and the creation of Aurum , the famous orange liqueur.

In the 1920s, D'Annunzio suggested the name for his famous liqueur to Amedeo Pomilio. The Poet combined the Latin words aurum (gold) and aurantium (orange) to enhance the color and flavor of the Abruzzo distillate. For the branding on the bottle, D'Annunzio and Pomilio chose the distinctive "Pompeian amphora" shape. The Poet was a pioneer in the first marketing operations of a product.
