Renicci di Anghiari, a camp in Tuscany, held primarily Yugoslav civilians — Slovenes, Croats, and others — detained under Italian Fascist internment policy from 1942. The camp administration issued its own scrip to control prisoner spending and prevent contact with the external economy, a practice common across Italian civilian internment camps but documented in very few surviving examples.
Campbell 6556 is among the rarer denominations from Renicci. The camp was liberated in September 1943 following the Italian armistice, at which point most scrip would have been discarded or destroyed — which accounts for the scarcity of survivors in any condition.
