    Governo Provvisorio 1859: 40 c. vermiglio showing large '0' from position 45 of the second sheet composition, a fresh and fine single adhesive with large to huge margins, tied by light "PARMA 29 GENN 60" despatch cds, on first page of entire letter to Milano. Reverse with MILANO arrival cds of the following day. An appealing cover paying the 40 c. double rate in the 'Sardinian tariff' of June 1859 to Sardinia or Lombardy. The much sought after 40 centesimi adhesive with the large '0' is one of the rarest stamps of the old Italian states, here correctly used on a most desirable cover. Signed Köhler, Em. Diena & R. Mondolfo; certs. A. Diena (1971), E. Diena (1984) Sassone = € 137'500.rnNote: The '0' grasso type is present on seven positions of the first and six positions of the second sheet composition.
