Italian States – Lombardy–Venetia, 1860s Cover to Udine. Folded cover franked with two single 5 soldi Type II in red (Sassone #30, €40 each), tied by indistinct “TRE…LO / 186_” cds. At the right of the stamps, Sorani expert signature with his manuscript numbering “30,” confirming authenticity. Addressed to Sig. Domenico D’Este, Udine. Reverse bears a clear two-line handstamp “GEBR. FRITZ”. Double-rate franking of 10 soldi reflects postage to Udine in Friuli, outside the immediate Lombardy area, making this a fine example of correct mid-19th-century inter-regional postal practice. Sorani's signature.
