Original Vatican Document – 1921 Ecclesiastical Appointment – Secretariat of State of His Holiness – Hand-signed by Cardinal Gasparri

Description:
Official Vatican document dated January 9, 1921, issued by the Secretariat of State of His Holiness during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XV, and hand-signed by Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, Vatican Secretary of State and principal architect of the Lateran Treaty (1929).

The document is written in elegant calligraphy on high-quality laid paper, featuring a Vatican watermark, official red ink stamps, and embossed papal seal. It is addressed to Reverend Don Bosio Riccardo Federici, who was appointed and admitted to the Archives of the Sacred Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs.
