(Later issues with King Humbert 'Umberto' and King Victor Emanuel III 'Vittorio Emanuele III')
The first stamps with this inscription were issued in 1875 (large size with King Emanuel II); 12 values ranging from 5 c to 15 L (all in colour lilac). Sorry, no picture available yet.
A second set was issued in 1878. It consists of two se-tenant stamps, one with the image of King Emanuel II, which was supposed to be given to the public and one with a number (supposed to remain in the government hands). Again 12 values (of two) ranging from 5 c to 15 L were issued (again all in colour lilac). Example:
More stamps with inscription 'PESI MISURE MARCHIO' were issued from 1882 onwards (double stamps, with image of King on one and number on the other). Both the image of King Humbert (27 values from 1 c to 30 L all in lilac) and King Victor Emanuel III (1910, 27 values ranging from 1 c to 30 L in various colours) were used.

Other values in this design (see the 20 c brown) and surcharges were issued after 1908.

('DIRITTI D'UFFIZIO', I've also seen a perforated 20 c red stamp in the same design)
There are many local fiscal stamps of Italy, even the famous Forbin catalogue does not list them, but mentions that in 1915 there were already 7000 to 8000 different local fiscal stamps in Italy. I'll give some examples here only:





('MUNICIPIO DI Monteroberto, I've also seen a 4 L brown in the same design)

(Commune di Santelpidio al Mare)
Two stamps with a head on it, only inscription '2-3' and '3-16'. These are "Marche per Quaderni" stamps, a quarterly tax on wages on legal folios (1935):

(Heads with no country name, only inscription '2-3' and '3-16')
The overprint 'ASSOC. NAZ. MUTU. INV GUERRA - ROMA' on a fiscal stamp of 1924 seems to be quite rare, it is known to have been forged:
Example, fiscal stamp of Italy ('MARCA DA BOLLO', 20 c red) surcharged 'CORONE 0,20':
