[ Abstract ]

This article analyzes the evolution of the Italian postal and telegraphic service during the period between wars. Starting from an incipient modernization process, the involvement of Italy in the First European War gave rise to a dramatic increment of the demand of mail traffic which produced serious short-term disfunctions, but which would finish by introducing important changes on the existing postal structure. The text explains how each of these changes took place, on the three different cronological periods of martial conflict, postwar years and fascist government.
