ITALY'S FASCIST PERIOD AT THE POST
1921-1943

Postage stamps - Postal stationery - Pre-Stamps - History - Services - Postmarks & relevant valuations

By Franco Filanci - Accademia Italiana di Filatelia e Storia postale.

This 3rd volume deals with the history of the postage stamps and of all the other Italian postal paper money of the period 1921-1943, introduced in light of the ideology, of the politics, of the news, of the wars and of the characters that have shaped them.

It is the history of the Fascist period seen through the postal services, the postmarks and the most diverse daily aspects of the communications of those years, from correspondence to telegrams up to television.

A history that includes a cataloguing of the paper money that composes it (including the postage stamps of the Air express of the Levant and of SCADTA), attentively introduced, documented and evaluated in its collectors' interest.

The narration is fluid, combined with an exhaustive regulatory documentation, for all those who wish to examine this historical period deeper, when mail was a central and fundamental element of society.

* Coup d'etat Italian style 1921-1928
* The lictor's fasces in the coat of arms 1929-1935

FROM ONE REPUBLIC TO THE OTHER
1943-1948

By Franco Filanci - Accademia Italiana di Filatelia e Storia postale.

This 4th volume, devoted to Italy 1943 to 1948, starts from the Italian Armistice of 8 September 1943 and ends with the completion of the new Italian Republic with relevant Constitution, its first President and the big star as symbol.

A volume certainly demanding in the first part, where RSI, Italian Kingdom, Allies, German Forces act, chronologically, in simultaneity.

A new, fluid, captivating way of talking about postage stamps, postal stationery, postmarks etc. (and to evaluate them, also under unusual aspects) that makes its history engaging, intriguing, maybe a real incentive to convert overprint small bands, allied postage stamps, Imperial, CLN, Democratic and Risorgimento into new, personal collections.

CONTENTS

* Guide lines for the third millennium
* Italy in tatters 1943-1945
* A change of register and king 1945-1946

Volume 6 of this catalogue illustrates mail services and postal rates from 1861 to 2000: the epochal changes in communication one of which occurred under our nose but which no one seems to have noticed; the story of the so-called letter mail is told through its objects, concessions, services, and their costs in 140 years; postal orders and other innovations, including banking ones; parcel post, that is how, for international reasons, the post office competed with private individuals; electrical services, new technologies, via wire or wireless, relevant to communication; licensed services, where it is shown how it happened to have to pay not to get but to perform a service.

CONTENTS

* Revolution to be supported
* A world of mail
* Money services
