The Order of the Star of Italy (Italian: Ordine della Stella d'Italia [ˈordine della ˈѕtɛlla diˈtaːlja]) is an Italian order of chivalry that was founded in 2011. The order was reformed from the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity by the 11th President of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano.[1] The emphasis of the reformed award was shifted from post-war reconstruction to the preservation and promotion of national prestige abroad, promoting friendly relations and co-operation with other countries and ties with Italy.
