The text in Latin script looks something vaguely like:
"gi.lamabrano.dmilong"
As is so often the case this is very hard to read. I did wonder if "milong" was read as Milan and that is why it said to be Milanese. Maybe I should ask the archive if they have an envelope for this letter to clarify its origin.
Of course, it could be a cipher loosely influenced by the symbols of Greek minuscule. It is not unusual for ciphers to take their symbols from other character sets.
