There were a number of Axis prisoner-of-war camps in Italy during World War II. The initials "P.G." denote Prigione di Guerra (Prison of War), often interchanged with the title Campo (field or military camp). The Italian Armistice, declared on 8 September 1943, ended Italian administration of the camps, many of which were resecured by the Germans and used to hold new prisoners and numerous recaptured escapees.

An English prisoner of war camp reportedly existed near Caoria - Canal San Bovo (Trento). It was closed on 8 September 1943.
