cover from Italy

Last Friday I got not only two postcards but also two covers including one from Italy.

Stamp:

EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 09-05-2017)

Inside was a postcard from Slovenia.

It shows the Kobarid Museum. The Kobarid Museum is a museum about the World War I battles of the Isonzo and of Kobarid. It was opened in 1990 and got the Museum Prize of the Council of Europe in 1993.

The region around Kobarid was located near the Isonzo Front and was hard fought between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy. After a long trench warfare the Battle of Kobarid, fought in October and November 1917, resulted in a victory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the collapse of the Italian Second Army. The battle is also known as the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, Battle of Caporetto (Italian name of Kobarid) or Battle of Karfreit (German name of Kobarid).

Thank You very much Cristina!
