She got very excited when She saw this stamp. Do you know what it is? I think its Italy. The letters are had to make out but I think its "gallatat"

Very nice. I've never seen it, but my guess is that the labels were included as part of a pack of stationery/cards.

Sounds like the words of a veteran cinderella collector.

Stamps - the bear necessities of life.

The cancellation also fits the name of the company. My guess, considering what services and products Galletet offers, is that it uses these labels on its own mailings to publicise its products. The PP, usually, stands for "port payé;" i.e., postage paid. I think it is unlikely to have been included as part of stationary or cards, as it would not be of use to the purchaser.

I imagine this would have been used on a marketing mail shot.
