In April 1859, the Sardinian army, arriving from the La Spezia province, occupied the territories of the Modena Duchy beyond the Apennines, the "Oltreappennino" of Modena, where the post offices of Massa, Carrara, Fivizzano, Aulla, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Camporgiano, Gallicano and Fosdinovo were located.
At the same time the use of the Sardinian postage stamps ceased in the "Oltreappennino" and that of the Ducal postage stamps ceased in the "Cisappennino." Until February 1, 1860, when the Sardinian postage stamps were distributed, the postage stamps of the Provisional issue were the only postage stamps in use.
Due to the simultaneous use of the 4th Sardinian issue, which never ceased, and due to the limited period of use and to the limited postal traffic, the postage stamps of the provisional issue on postal documents are scarce or very rare, except for the 20 centesimi postage stamp, which is not common.
