Romagne - Papal stamps used during the Provisional Government

03.08.1859 - Letter from Cesena to Forlì franked for 2 baj. with a 4 baj papal stamp in light yellow n.5Ab split in half diagonally, thus paying the first postage rate for the interior. The whole, which in itself is of great value, is enhanced by the use of the split on the recto instead of the verso. Cat. 13,000 (A) (Cert. Bottacchi, Emilio Diena, Alberto Diena)
