History
Italian term or phrase: a titolo di feudo
History of the postal service in Europe:
E’ del 1659 il decreto dell’imperatore Leopoldo I che conferma l’investitura di Ottavio nell’ufficio di Generale delle Poste Imperiali in Venezia e nel territorio veneto e della concessione a titolo di feudo dell’ufficio, richiamando i precedenti decreti dell’imperatore Ferdinando III, emanati dal 1637.

I not sure of the meaning of feudo here. Thanks
