Default Italian facist badge

Today’s haul includes an Italian facist badge on a maroon background. Can anyone tell me anything about it, possibly medical corps?

Default Pioneer badge

Looks like brass to me and a bit tinny!

The Italian badge appears to be a Fascist Party Officer dress cap badge. The backing color is unclear but may be branch specific. I have seen these on dress caps as well as the Fez.
