    1713 (Jan. 15) Badia (Polesine): Large 'B' postmark on entire lettersheet from Badia 'Prov. Alto Adige' to Venice with Saint Andrew's cross in ink on front, stating postage fee and tax paid. With the postal service reform 1713, the Republic of Venice adopted a tax of 1 'soldo' per letter. Every public letter with private content was due a payment for the fare to the courier and the tax to the state. An administrative postmark was used since the public postmark was not yet available. Very rare. Signed and certificate Vollmeier (2005).
