 [No title]
All plates till 1994 had two letters as origin code (see table) and a serial number up to 6 digits with eventually one letter and there has never been any kind of vanity plate.
In 1934 also front plates were changed: the colours were the same used for rear plates, with white characters on fl background, their size was very small (about 10.5 x 2.3 inches) and CONI (it stands for "Comitato Olimpico Nazionale Italiano", Italian National Olympic Committee) started making them.
From 1959 plates could be made with other materials than metal (picture number 10) and then, since 1963, they started being made of plastic (picture number 11), but this made them much weaker and they could easily be damaged or change their shape and aspect as you can see in pictures.

 SMOM Plates
Indeed, the SMOM plates are issued by the Italian Minister of Defence, and so somehow they are part of the Italian license plate system, but anyway their shape is far different from any other Italian plate, as you can easily see in the pictures, and they are not totally Italian.
For sure there are some sample plates of the Order of Malta and you can see one of them in the third picture (many thanks to Jim Fox!), but I was told by people working for the Order that they don't exist and that it has to be a fake.
Another strange thing about SMOM plates: some plates seem to miss the dot after the second "M" as you can see in one of the forth picture (many thanks to Maik Knoll for the picture, even if the quality is poor).

 The Continuing Controversy over Specialty License Plates
The other specialty license plate case getting considerable attention involves a challenge to a Virginia statute that directed the Department of Motor Vehicles to forbid The Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. from displaying a logo or emblem of any kind on its specialty license plate.
The language of the statute authorizing the plate was identical to numerous other specialty plate provisions, except for the ban on displaying logos or emblems, including the Confederate battle flag.
The other side counters that specialty plates represent the views of private actors because the design of the specialty plate is left entirely to the organizations and additional fees for producing specialty plates are borne by consumers, not the government.

 Official seals
At the beginning it was rhomboid and was attached to the plate with a hole (picture 1), then later, from 1945 up to 1948, it became oval-shaped and was printed directly on the plate (picture 2).
From 1944, when fascism ended and the fascio was removed from the Italian plates, until 1948 the symbol of the "Associazione Mutilati e Invalidi di Guerra" (Association of disabled men of the war) was printed on the rear plates, though this association had been making plates since 1927.
Since 1985, when Italian plates started being made of metal after about 20 years where plastic was used, they have had also a little print placed in various parts and you can read it only under some conditions of the light.

Colorado sadly lags far behind some other states in its offering of specialized license plates, and several attentive lawmakers are trying to correct the problem.
In fact, the only plate honoring cars at all is the horseless carriage plate, and that’s limited to really old cars that are only taken for the "occasional leisure drive." Colorado also does poorly in the environmental category.
Proceeds from that plate go to support the Parrothead Club, which "helps to sponsor and provide social activities and events in the community for all who share an interest in the music of Jimmy Buffett and the tropical lifestyle he personifies."
