Reverse with Spezia transit cds in black of the same day. Lightest vertical fold well away from the stamp just mentioned for accuracy, presumably the most attractive cover with this franking of outmost rarity. Signed Chiavarello; certs. E. Diena (1978), Bolaffi (1988), Toselli (2006) Sassone = € 20'000.rnNote: A commercial cover paying exactly the rate with 20 c. for the postage, 30 c. registration fee, 30 c. for the return receipt and 10 c. for an insured value of 100 lire or parts thereof, in this case 130 centesimi which make in total 200 centesimi.
