POSTAL RATES, FREE POSTAGES, POSTAL LAWS AND DECREES
DURING THE NAPOLEON'S KINGDOM OF ITALY
1805-1814
The book represents a valid instrument for collectors to know better some difficult aspects of the postal history of this period. The French occupation changed many systematic elements within the context of the Italian States, standardising and reforming the administration of post.
The author illustrates the different tariff periods 1805 to 1814 and explains every single part of the letter in a precise and detailed way.
Also the elaborate and interesting subject of free postages, often underestimated in postal history, finds its right relevance.
Finally, an appendix of decrees and postal laws completes the work.
