Hello all!
Here is an item I would like to learn more about if anyone can help.
This was mailed from Napoli to Rome in 1862
Napoli Aug 13
Roma Aug 15
12 bajocchi are due with 5 grana prepaying the Neapolitan internal rate to the border at Isoletta.
What I think I know:
- 5 grana would have been equivalent to 20 centesimi in Kingdom of Italy currency. So, this pays the internal rate to the border of the Kingdom of Italy. The Two Sicilies became part of the Kindgom on May 15, 1862 (I think I have that date correct?)
I have no idea how 12 bajocchi due is arrived at for an item that must surely have just taken the train via Isoletta and into Rome. Note: there is a light marking on the back that might be a rail marking or just a repeat of the Rome marking. The mark is too poor to tell.
Best,
Rob
