The document is a state decree issued by the government of the Kingdom of Sardinia under theauspices of King Charles Albert. The coat of arms and name of the king Charles Albert are prominently printed on the front page. Charles Albert ruled from 1831 until 1849. His name was given to the Albertine Statute which was essentially the first constitution of the Kingdom of Italy and remained in force for the first couple of years of the Republic of Italy. He engaged in wars with the Austro-Hungarian Empire over territory and 24 days after promulgating this decree was handed a disastrous military defeat by them. Four months later he was forced to abdicate and his son Victor Emmanualle II ascended the throne. This decree is a tax and spend bill authorizing the continued collection of taxes and payment of state bills.

The Kingdom of Sardinia was comprised of the Island of Sardinia and the northern Italian states of Savoy and the Piedmont. The state in its various forms was in existence from the late 1200s until 1861. In 1861 the Kingdom underwent a change to become the Kingdom of Italy continuing the rule of the House of Savoy. This lasted until 1946 when Italy was declared a republic. For a historian especially one interested in the history of modern Italy this is a direct connection to the turbulent times that saw the rise of revolutionaries such as Garibaldi who fought to create the modern state of Italy.
