ITALY IN EAST AFRICA
HISTORY, MAIL, PHILATELY
Volume I

The text, conceived in two separate volumes, represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately.

The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa and the second one is about the Italian Empire. Nevertheless, in order to facilitate readers, the chapters of Volume I concerning Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941, above all as long as the card-indexing of the offices and their postmarks is concerned.

The study is realised with the maximum historical and documentary rigour; all the information are in fact the result of official and controlled sources. It is useful both to postal history researchers and to collectors, with pages about the organization and the method of services, as well as complete and clearly organized tables of all the post and telegraph offices; for each one of these, all the known postmarks are reproduced. Moreover, the work is accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people) with images realised with care and reproduced in the original format. The rich quantity of material of every office, that proposes letters and other postal documents left from or arrived there, besides the images of the places and of the environments, represents a quality of the work.

Every volume starts with a historical-descriptive part, followed by the lists of offices and postmarks, divided into chapters like the historical-descriptive part, and placed, in every chapter, in alphabetical order. Every postmark is numbered. Together with the second volume, a catalogue with point valuation is present.

Second edition of the catalogue that refers to the monumental 2014-2016 work on AOI history, mail and philately, still complete. The volume of evaluations is updated: in the first edition there were only the office names, making immediate reference to the two volumes for their chronology, in this second one instead their chronology is included. To follow, the known postmarks with their evaluations.

The postmarks are always inserted with the same criterion: first the oval ones used as cancellers in the first days of the offices, then the round, the line and the other types; last the Residences postmarks.
On the other hand, the oval marks of exemption from postal taxes of the State administrations are not taken into consideration: in fact, they are supplied to them, not to post offices.
The graphics were also catalogued and reproduced "from life", with the postage stamp portion that they cancelled. The graphics in the recommendation labels have also been reproduced.

Evaluations are expressed in points. Two scales of points are proposed: one applicable only to classical Eritrea and the 1895-1896 campaign, the other to all the rest. Two chapters dedicated to Eritrea: first and second period. For convenience, the office chronology is all in the second period.
Only the stamps used as cancellers are quoted; accessory stamps are only listed.

Also available in the LUXURY version.

History, Post, Philately - vol.1

The work, which for the authors closes a truly broad human and research path, intends to systematize knowledge, propose it in a modern way and create a work that intends to be definitive, at least for many years: the framework that is proposed is well defined. in all its main lines and its interpretative aspects.

Historical text followed by the catalogue of the offices, with their postage stamps and examples of use and the catalogue with the summary and evaluations of the registered stamps.
The main novelty of this volume is the breadth of the context: it is not considered a subject limited in time, but a wide Mediterranean region, which has had various political (and therefore postal) regimes, from the beginning until almost contemporaneity. A broad overview of synthesis that has its roots in classical antiquity and reaches up to the last, difficult years of today's Libya.

THE POST OF ITALIAN MILITARY MISSIONS ABROAD
FROM 1950 TO 2022
Classification and evaluation

Published by CIFO - Association of Italian collectors of ordinary postage stamps

New edition that resumes and updates the catalogue on military missions abroad of 2013, starting from the n.1 Afis in Somalia of 1950, up to n.164 of Air Policing for the surveillance of the NATO airspace of June 2022.

One of the novelties is the introduction of three further groupings of missions, with unusual and interesting material: the Hippocampus operations, for the repatriation of compatriots, the Humanitarian missions and the Scientific ones.

The introduction illustrates the various types of postal historical material that can be collected, also taking into consideration mail that has not travelled, that which has been created retrospectively, that which is almost industrially produced in equal multiples and also other types of objects connected with mail, such as, for example, commemorative postcards, philatelic souvenirs, documents,...

The work develops by listing the missions in chronological order with explanatory cards containing the technical data and showing correspondence, postcards, newspapers, flyers, the most significant postal and administrative postmarks, the official gullers when there is a dedicated Military Post Office.

It is the result of a group work: Ruben Berta, Roberto Cruciani, Claudio Ernesto Manzati, Domenico Matera, Ernesto Vassallo.
