    Period of invalidity 1863 (March 3): Entire letter from Palena to Cardinale, bearing 1863 Tipo Sardegna 15 c. 'azzuro scuro' (some rubbing on front), tied by clear PALENA cds (Sassone CH = 7 punti), a clear information strike alongside. Reverse with NAPOLI transit and CARDINALE cds of the next day. An appealing item full of postal history, in this case the cover was no more taxed. Signed E. Diena.rnNote: This issue was first valid only for two months until the end of February, but at the beginning of March it was decided to prolong its period of use until end of 1863. One can find letters despatched on March 2/3, 1863 which had been first taxed with double the deficieny, then detaxed. After March 3, the stamp could be used without problem.
