Opmerkingen

Vittoria, in the Ragusa province of southeastern Sicily, housed one of Italy's WWI prisoner-of-war camps — primarily Austrian and Austro-Hungarian internees. Camp scrip of this kind was a practical administrative solution: it allowed the military authority to control purchasing within the camp canteen while preventing prisoners from accumulating Italian currency that might facilitate escape or bribery.

The Marchisio lithographic firm in Turin handled several such contracts for Italian military facilities during the war. The logistical gap between the Turin printer and the Sicilian camp it served is worth noting — these small-denomination fractional notes traveled further to reach their point of use than most prisoners ever would.
