Original Italian text:
"Pilota da caccia di raro ardire e di incomparabile perizia, con freddo, mirabile e Cosciente coraggio in aspri cimenti e in duri combattimenti nei cieli del Mediterraneo e dell'Africa Settentrionale, abbatteva 94 velivoli che sommava ad altri 7 apparecchi abbattuti nel cielo della Manica. Esempio costante di audacia e di ardimento, di fronte al rischio, confermava sempre le sue bellissime virtù di pilota eccezionale e di superbo combattente. - Cielo del Mediterraneo e dell'Africa Settentrionale italiana, 26 aprile 1941 -18 giugno 1942."
