The Treaty of peace with Italy is a treaty signed in Paris on February 10, 1947 between Italy and the victorious powers of World War II, formally ending the hostilities.
The provisions of the treaty included:
- the transfer of Adriatic islands, Istria south of river Mirna and what is now western Slovenia to Yugoslavia
- transfer of Dodecanese islands to Greece
- minor revisions of border with France
- recognition of independence of Albania
- renouncement of claims to colonies
- cancellation of favourable commercial treaties with China
Trieste and surrounding area were incorporated into a new independent state called the Free Territory of Trieste, which was later divided between Yugoslavia and Italy in 1954.
A subsequent annex to the treaty provided for cultural autonomy of the German minority in South Tyrol.
