| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The centre of the note is dominated by the large ornate intaglio-engraved letter 'M' of 'MILLE LIRE', flanked by a fasces vignette to the left and a circular watermark window to the right, all within an elaborate guilloche border with allegorical figures at the corners. The bank title 'BANCA D'ITALIA' and the denomination 'MILLE LIRE' are inscribed in bold letterpress across the centre field, with the legend 'PAGABILE A VISTA AL PORTATORE' below. Two signatures of the Governatore and Cassiere appear beneath the central text, with the denomination numeral '1000' repeated in each corner medallion. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in warm brown tones with a rich intaglio border populated by standing allegorical female figures, classical architectural vignettes, and decorative foliate scrollwork. To the right of centre, a large cameo-style portrait of a female head in profile — representing Italia — is rendered in intaglio within a circular frame, accompanied by the denomination '1000 LIRE' repeated twice in the central field. A circular orange underprint medallion is positioned at the lower centre, and a large watermark circle occupies the left portion of the design. |

The 'grande M' designation — a collector's shorthand for the large decorative M in the watermark — distinguishes this 1st-type issue from later revisions in the same 1000 Lire series. Barbetti designed and Ballarini engraved several of the major Banca d'Italia issues of this period, and their collaboration produced work of genuine technical refinement within Italian intaglio printing of the 1920s.
The signature progression across six date variants tells its own institutional story: Bonaldo Stringher, the formidable long-serving Governor who had steered the Banca through the lira stabilization crisis of 1926–27, died in December 1930. Vincenzo Azzolini's single dated variant — 02.01.1932 — marks the transition cleanly. High-denomination notes of this issue circulated through the Fascist regime's early consolidation years, when the "Quota 90" policy artificially revalued the lira against sterling, with considerable economic disruption.
