Brindisi

  • In an article published in Pratique volume xxx, (2005), number 3 page 87, Denis Vandervelde wrote an article about a remarkable envelope from Andy Chung collection. The envelope has a cachet reading "DISINFETTATO/SANITA MA*BRINDISI". Denis explained the reason why it is spelling "disinfettata" instead of "disinfettata". Now I present an envelope dated October 20, 1873 sent from Messina to Corfu. It was routed via Brindisi where was disinfected. The cachet reads "DISINFETTATA/SANITA MA-BRINDISI". I will be happy to hear other collectors opinion. These cachets are original or fake?

    I add a scan of the article Denis wrote.
