This pair of stamps features two significant monuments. The 25c stamp depicts the Monument to the Fallen in Milan, a tribute to the city's World War I dead. The 30c stamp shows the Monument to the Bersagliere in Rome, honoring the elite light infantry corps of the Italian Army.

Issued by the Italian Social Republic (RSI), a German puppet state led by Mussolini after his rescue in 1943, these stamps were used in Northern Italy during the final years of World War II.
