New Page 1 Analyze Images: Image 1: Front of an envelope. Sender is the "COMUNE di AVIGLIANA" (Municipality of Avigliana), specifically the "ANAGRAFE" (Registry Office). It's addressed to "Al Signor PODESTA' della Città di COLLEGNO" (To Mr. Podestà of the City of Collegno). Both locations are in the Province of Turin (Prov. di TORINO). It has a two 25 Centesimi Italian Social Republic postage stamp cancelled with a postmark from "AVIGLIANA (TORINO)" dated "-9.2.45" (February 9, 1945). Image 2: Back of the envelope. It shows a faint arrival postmark from Collegno Turin sorting office, dated "11.2.45" (February 11, 1945), indicating a transit time of about two days. Image 3: The document inside the envelope. It's a form titled "MUNICIPIO DI [Avigliana]" (Municipality of Avigliana) and "CONFERMA DI GENERALITA'" (Confirmation of Personal Details). It appears to be a response ("IN EVASIONE ALLA RICHIESTA" - Fulfilling the request) from Avigliana to Collegno regarding an individual's details, likely due to a change of residence. It lists details for "Massola Leo Pietro", son of "Edoardo" and "Brossello Elvira", registered in Avigliana's Immigration Register No. 58. The form seems intended to confirm details for Collegno and potentially note the cancellation of the individual from Avigliana's records.

This is also a valid administrative entity and location for the time period (February 1945, during the Italian Social Republic). Brief Summary: This is official correspondence mailed on February 9, 1945, from the Registry Office of Avigliana to the Podestà of Collegno (both near Turin, Italy). It contains a form confirming the personal details of Leo Pietro Massola, likely because he was moving or had moved from Avigliana to Collegno. The form served to provide Collegno with verified information for their records and potentially confirm his removal from Avigliana's registry. Postal Route and Distance: Route: The letter traveled from Avigliana, Italy to Collegno, Italy. Both are municipalities located west/northwest of the city of Turin within the same province. Distance: The driving distance between Avigliana and Collegno is approximately 15-20 kilometers (about 10-12 miles). The postal route in 1945 would likely have followed local roads, possibly routed through a sorting office in Turin.
