Castelfranco together wih Marca Trevigiana joinded the Daniele Manin's 'Venetian Republic', which was proclaimed on March 22, 1848. Volunteers provided financial resources and more to the patriotic cause. The postal clerk in his patriotic fervor didn't want to use any symbol of Lombardo-Veneto and used this old postmark of the former Republic of Venice. So the postal clerk created by his enthusiastic patriotisme a pre-philatelic rarity. See also attached article written by Franco Rigo.
