Not to be confused with Colonial Order of the Star of Italy.
In 2011, the order was reformed as the Order of the Star of Italy by the 11th President, Giorgio Napolitano.[2] 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.
