 chain with the Piedmont Hotel engravings.

The "FERT" on the coat of arms engraving on the back of the key chain is a parallel of the motto of the Italian royal house
of Savoy-Sardinia adopted by Duke Vittorio (1666-1732) believed to be a Latin accronym. Translations refer to it as
"treaty and religion bind us;" "His strength conquered Rhodes;" "His bravery preserves the state;" or "Faith is the protector
of our Kingdom."
