This Italian postage due stamp features the bold denomination “10 Lire” in deep blue with ornate scrollwork and the inscription Segnatasse below. Issued in the mid-20th century, these stamps were used to collect postage deficiencies from recipients. Printed by Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, the design reflects Italy’s elegant classical style in philately. Postage dues are highly collectible for their specialized role in postal history, making this a desirable addition for Italy collectors. A fine piece that connects to the nation’s transitional post-war postal system.
