Occupation
Two regions were occupied by Italian forces during World War I. One was the area around Trentino in the Tyrol region in the Alps. The other was Venezia Giulia, an area around Trieste and points north, extending south down the Istrian coast. In 1919, general or common issues were released, with surcharges on Italian stamps in centesimi di corona or corona. This included a special delivery stamp and a group of postage dues.
