    1859 (Sept): 2 baj. 'giallo arancio', two fresh and fine examples with good colour and large even margins all round, cancelled by Papal-style single-line CENTO handstamp, "22 NOV. 59 CENTO" despatch (Sassone FE = 6 punti) and BOLOGNA transit cds's alongside, on envelope to Mantova. Reverse with Austrian-style MANTOVA arrival (Nov 24) cds and distribution cachet. Upon arrival taxed with '5' (soldi) due. Light filing folds well away from the franking, an appealing cover with the franking paying the postage to the border with Veneto, the receiver had to pay the Austrian part of the journey.
