Fiscal stamps used as definitives / Marche da bollo usate per posta 1854: 5 c. green, brown-orange & black with the value in typography, three fresh adhesives with overall good perforation (partially blunted at top due to cover's edge), tied by "PADOVA 4 / 8" cds to 1856 entire letter, directed to Venezia, reverse with indistinct arrival cds. Very attractive usage, a rare franking with fiscal stamps instead of postal definitives to pay the 15 c. rate in the first rayon. Signed A. & E. Diena, Gassi; cert. Bottacchi (2014) Sassone = € 23'250. Note: Until July 1857 the use of fiscal stamps to pay the postage was tolerated in Austria and Lombardo-Veneto.
