In the province of Friuli he founded his paper-mill. Although his natural market was Venice, the sale of his paper to Triest and to the north was also possible. Venice sold entire cargoes of paper to the Levant and other markets overseas. Why should it not be possible for Galvani to do the same thing via the port of Trieste. […] Unfortunately, no details are known are ascertainable from during Valentino Galvani’s lifetime; we can, however, reconstruct his work and its quality from the sample of paper still available. When he died in the early years of the nineteenth century, he left four paper-mills to his sons Anton and Karl. One of these was situated in Pordenone (Portenau), one in Cordenons (this was the stamp in one in Rorai-Porcia, all in the province of Friuli, with depots in Udine.” RISM-ID: 659000450 659000812 659000813 659001711 659000822	Watermark	Countermark
