UN PO DI STORIA DOGANALE
about "responsible for border control ".......
body in charge of customs
The customs were a paramilitary force responsible for supervisory functions with the Customs of the Kingdom of Sardinia, in 1862 merged into the customs body of the guard. Upon restoration of the House of Savoy after the Napoleonic period the Piedmontese government, explicitly acknowledging the superiority of the administrative institutions of the French model than the previous system, chose to maintain, among others, the essential elements buoyancy Customs trans.
In particular, since the so-called "active Customs Service" - whose officers were in fact referred to as "responsible" and had the task of guarding the land and sea borders in order to repress the smuggling contributing to the maintenance of public order - had made good proof, it was decided to keep him alive under the name of the Royal Corps of Supervisors of Customs and duties of the parent Napoleonic .
Our first analysis of the safety officers of paragraph 7 of the notorious art. 17 was therefore well founded!
