POSTAL CENSORSHIP IN LOMBARDY

Violation of the secrecy of the mail has always been a very usual practice in any time and everywhere, not only towards state and diplomatic letters, understandable even though unjustifiable, but also towards civil and ecclesiastic mail. Everybody knew that, so people used codes and never wrote names or about important events.

This volume deals with the subject in Austrian Lombardy, then Lombardy-Venetia, in one century or a bit more when the Austrian dominated, including French interlude.

Most information comes from the State Archives in Milan.
