## About this plate

TEST / TRADE PLATES, for new vehicles moved through Italy or exported. Reported to follow the Italian "prova" pattern, which fits the wider picture of Vatican plates being made to Italian templates by the Italian state printer. Everything here is secondary and the period is not established at all.

## Format notes

The word PROVA is a LEGEND printed in red on the upper line, not part of the serial, so it does not appear in the pattern; the serial proper is the sigla plus a progressive number.
