1879 Umberto I definitives, 1888 (Nov 4): Double rate Registered Envelope from Modena to Nizza, bearing the extremely rare 30 c. brown in combination with 25 c. blue and 20 c. orange, tied by light '18' barred obliterator with matching "MODENA (RACOMM)" despatch cds and registration label alongside. Reverse with Firenze - Torino ambulant and NICE arrival (Nov 5) cds's. File folds well away from the franking, wax seals cut out from the reverse and cover opened on two sides, nevertheless a usage of utmost rarity, correctly franked with twice 25 c. for the postage plus 25 c. registration fee. Signed Emilio & Alberto Diena; cert. Colla (2021) Sassone = € 31'500+.rnNote: An extremely rare usage of the Umberto 30 c. definitive, which was sold to the public only for a short time in few larger offices such as Firenze, Genova, Livorno, Milano, Napoli, Padova, Palermo, Roma and Torino. This cover, however, was despatched nine years later in Modena by the famous philatelist and dealer Emilio Diena and directed to his elder brother Carlo Diena. Carlo was born in Modena in 1850, ten years before his more famous brother, and his activity in the philatelic trade was focussed outside the national borders of Italy. Based on the available information, it is possible to imagine that around 1891 he may have finally left Modena to Nice after the death of his father and the closure of the family banking business. As little biographical information exist about Carlo Diena, his death is reported as having occurred in 1892 in Montecarlo. However, correspondence addressed to him a decade later speaks against this assumption. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
