Fiume · 1919 ·

This listing describes the protective backside print of the 1919 '30th October' issue from Fiume, manufactured by Bertieri & Vanzetti, Milano. It features a very dull blue-green print with a threefold 'POSTA di FIUME' inscription over a decorative pattern of the same color. This specific protective print is unique to the original Bertieri & Vanzetti issue.

The stamps of Fiume from this period reflect the complex political status of the city after World War I, when it was claimed by both Italy and Yugoslavia, eventually becoming an independent state under Gabriele D'Annunzio before its annexation by Italy.
