Italy · 1944 · 25c

This definitive stamp features a design with fasces, the symbol of Italian Fascism. It was issued by the Italian Social Republic, a German puppet state led by Mussolini in northern Italy during the final years of World War II. The stamp is notable for being imperforate, meaning it lacks the usual perforations for separation.

Issued in 1944, this stamp represents the brief and violent period of the Italian Social Republic (Repubblica Sociale Italiana, or RSI) after the armistice between the Kingdom of Italy and the Allies.
