14 has not been written in Switzerland, but as usual on arriving in Kingdom of Sardinia. The amount paid by the addressee in Genève doesn't appear ! Buone feste! Does anyone know where I can find the source of this information? The book in question does not cite any sources and I cannot find from w...

Second question: What was the postal rate for sending a letter from Génoa, Italy to Martigny, Switzerland on October 1853? From what read from the convention from 21.10.1850, it should be 20 centimes for a letter up to 7,5g. Is this correct? 2/. According to the book Letter Mails from and to the Ol...

2/. According to the book Letter Mails from and to the Old Italian States (Mentaschi & Mathà, 2008) the postal rate for a letter sent in Switzerland was 40 centesimi. The 20 centesimi rate was the border rate (locations under 45 km distant from the swiss-sardinian border) Hi, I do not have that...

Hi, I read that post and it seems there are a couple of similar interpretations by the community. There are also references to the following studies: L'uso del bollo RETRODATO è ampiamente spiegato da Francesco Lombardo (dal esempio sardo-siciliano) nel suo articolo pubblicato nel numero 47 (maggio ...

Good morning All,

Grazie Giorgio!

Hello, Attached the letter in question. Apart of understanding the postal rates, there are two cancellations on the back that I don't know where they were applied, perhaps someone has an idea: The first seems to be from 14.10.1853 and perhaps applied in TORINO ? it has a S M on the bottom. See here ...

Thank you, Laurent. 1/ I can see that décret was effective on 01.07.1851 and the postal rates from Portugal and Spain were lightly reduced. Via land was 0,5c and via sea was 0,7c up to 7,5g. I mixed the dates on my initial post. So, we have Convention between France and Sardaigne signed in Paris on ...

Hello All, First post and hope is ok to write in English, I do not speak or write Italian, I could use google translate but I think would be better to write in English. For the postal history collectors out there, I’m trying to decipher the postal rates/taxes of a letter that was sent from Portugal ...
