ITALY, 1871, free franking official letter, with a pictorial seal with postal franking privilege, showing an amond tree. Place name in cds, Amandola, in Latin, meaning amond. Amandola's name apparently derives from the beautiful Fillide who, according to mythological history, whilst desperately searching for her love, arrives in Amandola. As she can not find him anywhere, she believes he is dead and sadly kills herself. It is said the Gods then transformed her mortal body into an almond tree. From this comes the name 'Amandola'. (almond = mandorlo!)
