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 (BAJ). Posthumous reprints were first created in 1897. and forgeries and forged cancels also exist.

The genuine have essentially complete corner ornaments with the "Y"-shaped parts having the bottom leg definitely complete. Forgeries either have several of the legs broken, indistinct or shaped like "V"s. 



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