Romagna

Romagna was a state located on the northern Adriatic Sea in what is now Italy. It was controlled by the Papal States in 1859.


 * In 1859, Romagna issued its own stamps, inscribed FRANCO / BOLLO / POSTALE / ROMAGNA surrounding a figure of value in Bajocchi (BAI or BAJ). Posthumous reprints were first created in 1897. Forgeries and forged cancels also exist.

The corner ornaments of the genuine originals have the "Y"-shaped parts with the bottom leg definitely complete and straight. An apparent secret mark in the upper right ornament has the upper right circle broken where it would attach to the central circle. Forgeries either have several of the bottom "Y" legs broken, indistinct or shaped like "V"s.  File:Romagna 8b.A.webp|8b value 

Romagna became part of Sardinia, using Sardinian stamps from that point.
