Item Description

1️ Philatelic:
Franked with a 10 CENTESIMI KING VICTOR EMMANUEL III definitive, postmarked _ROMA 10 DIC 1905_. Addressed to _Lieutenant Alfredo R. ---_, Río Negro street Montevideo  Uruguay — an uncommon destination for Italian military correspondence at the time. The card shows clear signs of long-distance handling, including reception markings from the Uruguayan postal system.

2️ Aesthetic:
The front shows a formation of the 3° REGGIMENTO CAVALLERIA LANCIERI “SAVOIA”, captured in full ceremonial attire with lances and mounted horses. Photographed by P. LUCCHESI (ROMA), the scene reflects the pageantry and order of early 20th-century European cavalry.

3️ Social:
The card bears a handwritten message in Spanish across the image, dated _Roma 4/12/1905_, reinforcing the personal and military nature of the correspondence. It evidences a direct connection between European and South American officers in the early 1900s.

An outstanding piece for open class philately, military history, cavalry themes, or international postal connections.
