Sardinia

Sardinia is a large island in the western Mediterranean, south of Corsica. Before the unification of Italy,the Kingdom of Sardinia was the name applied to a union of Sardinia and Piedmont, although the island wasvery much the junior partner. Stamps of this state were issued in Turin 1851–1862 but the country's nameis not shown. Gibbons list these stamps under Sardinia, which is strictly correct, but historians generallyrefer to the state as Piedmont. To prevent confusion between the 19th century state and the present islandprovince, this work has Piedmont as the specific entry and Sardinia as a minor entry.
