    1863 (Jan 7): Lettersheet from Verbano to Magadino Ticino, bearing 1862 10 c. bistre with part of the marginal selvedge, a fresh adhesive, tied clear VERBANO cds in black, "P.D." handstamp alongside. An interesting usage in the border rate between Italy and Switzerland for offices of less than 45 km apart, which was cheaper than the newly introduced Italian inland rate of 15 centesimi. The adhesive was cancelled on the Lago Maggiore vessel from Arona. Sassone = €2'250.
