Over the years I have accumulated quite a few fascist-era Italian covers; I will post them all here eventually unless they fit into another category.
This one is addressed to the National Fascist Institute of Family Providence or something similar.
I couldn't find anything similar worded online; possibly a bureaucracy to do with controlling family life? Dated 1941 maybe there were requests or special dispensations for allotments of commodities or services in short supply (during World War II) or maybe concerning state efforts to get families to tow the party line.....
It seems the sender had to use quite a few stamps, maybe there was an oversized-letter rate at the time?
Perhaps members here might shed some more light.
