Trieste is a southern European city on the Adriatic Sea in Italy. In 1947, Zone A of Venetia Juliana (under the Allied Military Administration) and the Yugoslav-occupied Zone B were divided between Italy and Yugoslavia, with the exception of the so-called Free Territory of Trieste. The Free Territory of Trieste was to become an independent state, but remained de facto divided into Allied-occupied Zone A and Yugoslav-occupied Zone B. Separate occupation stamps were issued in each zone. In 1954, Zone A was transferred to Italy and Zone B to Yugoslavia, although the Free Territory of Trieste was not officially dissolved until 1977.

Triëst is een Zuid-Europese stad aan de Adriatische Zee in Italië. In 1947 werden Zone A van Julisch-Venetië (onder het Geallieerd Militair Bestuur) en de door Joegoslavië bezette Zone B verdeeld onder Italië en Joegoslavië, met uitzondering van de zogenaamde Vrije Zone Triëst. De Vrije Zone Triëst zou een onafhankelijke staat worden, maar bleef de facto verdeeld in een door de Geallieerden bezette Zone A en een door Joegoslavië bezette Zone B. In beide zones werden aparte bezettingszegels uitgegeven. In 1954 werd Zone A overgedragen aan Italië en Zone B aan Joegoslavië, hoewel de Vrije Zone Triëst officieel pas in 1977 werd opgeheven.
