[San Gimignano / -3.-5.82. [Since the stamp had little ink, the postal clerk made four identical stamps, until one of them was clearly legible.] [Barnet did not send the letter from San Gimignano himself; it was sent by someone linked to the Communist Party (as the address on the envelope suggests), to whom Barnet had entrusted the dispatch of the letter. Letters were not normally posted from Cuba, but given to friends or acquaintances who undertook the transoceanic journey and who would send them once they arrived in Europe.]] [There are a total of 9 stamps of different values: starting from the left, Castle of Cerro al Volturno, in two equal stamps Castel del Monte and in two others the Castello Sforzesco, while in the remaining four, a woman's head is depicted with the Repubblica Italiana written underneath.]

Hans Werner Henze
Via La Leprara 0047
Marino
Roma
[The address was probably written by the person in charge of sending Barnet's letter to Henze.]
