PROTAGONISTEN, DIE REISEN
Dieses Werk befasst sich mit den 104 Auslandsreisen, die der Stellvertreter Christi während seines langen Pontifikats gemäß den Kriterien des Heiligen Stuhls auf sich genommen hat.
Jeder Reise ist in chronologischer Reihenfolge ein Kapitel gewidmet, das die anlässlich dieses Ereignisses erschienen Briefmarken detailliert und, wenn möglich, der Reiseroute des Papstes folgend vorstellt. Es werden sowohl die Ausgaben wiedergegeben und beschrieben, die von den Gastländern herausgegeben wurden, als auch am Ende des jeweiligen Kapitels die des Vatikans, die anlässlich der gleichen Reise erschienen sind.
Die Untersuchung bezüglich der in den Gastländern erschienen Briefmarken betrifft den Zeitraum unmittelbar vor und nach dem Besuch bis etwa ein Jahr nach dem Ereignis: Verschiedene Länder bevorzugen es eher, den Besuch im Nachhinein zu würdigen, als diesen im Vorhinein anzukündigen. In einigen Fällen wird der Besuch sowohl vor als auch nach dem Besuch geehrt.
Der Vatikan verfolgt jedoch eine andere Tradition, die sich im Übrigen stets bewährt hat: er wartet eine gewisse Zeit - im Allgemeinen ein bis zwei Jahre - und bringt dann einen Gedenksatz heraus, in dem jeder Reise normalerweise eine Briefmarke gewidmet ist. Die 1999 unternommenen fünf Reisen (Mexiko, Vereinigte Staaten, Rumänien, Polen, Slowenien, Indien und Georgien) wurden z.B. am 1. September 200 mit Stücken gleicher Zahl zelebriert. In einigen Fällen werden, wie am 3. Dezember 1981, allgemeinere Themen hinzugefügt: neben den im Vorjahr unternommenen Stationen ist das päpstliche Wappen (50-Lire-Briefmarke) oder Seine Heiligkeit bei der Erteilung des Segens (900-Lire-Briefmarke) abgebildet.
Zum Zwecke der Einrahmung des historisch bedeutenden Moments und der Angabe einiger weiterführender Details zur Bewertung der Reise und der Umstände, unter denen diese stattfand, wird ferner ein zusammenfassender Besuchsbericht entsprechend den Äußerungen von Journalisten, bzw. nachfolgend von Experten, wiedergegeben.
NICHT NUR PASTORALASPEKTE
Der Wunsch bei der Erstellung dieser Sammlung war der, einen Schritt weiter zu gehen. Verschiedene Aufenthalte waren durch ein Thema, bzw. mehrere Themen von herausragender Bedeutung gekennzeichnet, deren mittels der Herausgabe von Briefmarken um den Zeitraum des Papstbesuches gedacht wurde.
Historische Jahrestage, Ereignisse und religiöse Feierlichkeiten scheinen gerne hervorgehoben zu werden: Sie stehen nicht in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang mit dem Papstbesuch - auch wenn sie den Papst selber betreffen - können aber zum besseren Verständnis des Kontextes beitragen.
Der ersten Etappe in Argentinien vom 10. bis zum 13. Juni 1982 liegt ein Hauptgedanke zu Grunde: der Vermittlungsversuch zwischen Buenos Aires und London, die durch den blutigen Falkland-Malwinen-Konflikt geteilt waren. Der südamerikanische Staat unterstreicht selbstverständlicherweise den Besuch der Bischofs von Rom am 12. Juni. Zum besseren Verständnis dienen jedoch auch die Ausgaben, wie die vom 22. April, auf denen die Inseln als argentinisch angegeben sind.
Ein weiteres Beispiel: Zwischen dem 6. und dem 16. Oktober besucht der Pilger in genannter Reihenfolge Südkorea, Indonesien und Mauritius. Seoul gedenkt dieses Besuches nicht mit spezifischen Briefmarken. Doch genau am 4. Oktober gedenkt Korea des 44. Internationalen Eucharistischen Kongress, der von der asiatischen Hauptstadt organisiert wurde und an der der Papst teilnahm, mit einer 80-Won-Briefmarke.

CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD978-88-85335-87-5
The stamps issued by the organizing and winner countries of football world championships
1930-2006
With the cooperation of Pierangelo Brivio
Preface by Maurizio Tecardi, past President of the Italian Union for Collectors of Olympic Games and Sport
Introductory essay by Danilo Bogoni
Half a century of development, names and results recorded by specialized philately written by Nino Barberis, international thematic judge
Interview to the collector Pierangelo Brivio
Devoted to Football World Championships, the volume lists, describes and reproduces the stamps issued by the countries which organized the event and by those which won it, including the issues by colonial territories and the items connected to the happening.
The work covers the history of Championships, from the first edition of 1930 to 2006, but there is something more: South Africa, as the host country of the event in 2010, started its promotional campaign through the postal system in 2006.
Completely in colours, the book follows the same layout and general organization as the volume "John Paul II - Visits of Hope". There are some opening pages and then one chapter for each Championship, with information and details on the event, and the reproduction and description of the stamps and souvenir sheets issued.
For every Championship, a peculiar aspect has been added in order to underline historical-political facts (the division between the Arab world and Israel), promotional choices (the French "Merci les bleus!") or technical aspects (the packets of Swedish stamps or British varieties), thus exploiting all the possibilities for deep and broad studies offered by philately.
The needs of football fans who are interested in more specific details for each happening have been considered: a journalistic presentation of main football facts, a series of data (teams, scores, winner team players), help in widening the picture obtained through postal issues.
The stamps have been reproduced full size (only some souvenir sheets have been reduced). To help collectors in their research, the numbering of the most important international catalogues have been included; (in alphabetical order) Michel, Scott, Unificato and Yvert & Tellier. There are no valuations.
Fabio Bonacina, a journalist, mainly works in public communication, but he also writes about stamps and the post.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS: THE JOURNEYS
This work considers the 104 journeys that the Vicar of Christ undertook outside Italy throughout his Papacy, following the criteria put in place by the Holy See.
A chapter is dedicated to each journey in chronological order, presenting details of the postal issues distributed for the occasion, and ideally retracing the itinerary followed by the Pontiff. Both the issues produced by the countries that hosted the Pope over time and, at the end of each chapter, those issued by the Vatican in connection with the same itinerary are reproduced and described.
For the countries that received him, the research has involved the periods immediately before and after the visit up to approximately one year after the event: in fact, various realities, rather than announcing the experience, prefer to comment on it afterwards. In some cases, therefore, both focuses are highlighted.
The Vatican, on the other hand, has always upheld its own tradition: it waits a certain length of time - usually one or two years - and then it issues a commemorative series, generally dedicating a stamp to each itinerary. For example, the five projects completed in 1999 (Mexico and the United States together, Romania, Poland, Slovenia, India and Georgia) are celebrated with the same number of copies, which came out on the 1st September 2000. Sometimes more general subjects are added, as happened on the 3rd December 1981: alongside the places visited the previous year we have the papal coat of arms (50 lire) or His Holiness giving a blessing (900 lire).
To define the historical moment and provide further details in order to take both the journey and the circumstances in which it took place into consideration, a brief account of the visit is also given through the writings of journalists at the time or, subsequently, of the experts.
NOT JUST A PASTORAL VIEWPOINT
The creation of this collection aims to go further. Various visits were distinguished by one or more prominent themes, commemorated by special stamps issued around the time of the Pontiff's visit.
These include historical anniversaries, events, religious ceremonies that are worth noting: they are not strictly linked with the Pope's visit - although the Pope himself is involved - but they can help us fully understand its context.
His first stay in Argentina, from the 10th to the 13th June 1982, had one main motivation: to attempt mediation between Buenos Aires and London, divided by the bloody Falkland-Malvinas conflict. Of course, the South-American country highlights the presence of the Bishop of Rome on the 12th June, but the issues also help us understand the climate at the time, such as those from the 22nd April where the islands are shown as being Argentinean.
Another example: from the 6th to the 16th October 1989 the Pilgrim visited, in order, South Korea, Indonesia and Mauritius. Seoul did not issue any special stamps, but on the 4th October an 80 Won commemorates the 44th International Eucharistic Congress, organised in the Asian capital and attended by the Pontiff.

There is a chapter for each journey with the description of the visit and the themes dealt with, a brief account of the social and political situation, reproduction of the stamps connected with the journey.
47 opening pages illustrate the key moments in the life of Pope Wojtyla through the many stamps that were dedicated to him (for the Holy Year, the 25th year of Papacy, stamps for his birthdays and for his death, the vacant Papal See, Italian stamps and Vatican stamps, exhibitions and much more).

THE MAIN CHARACTERS: THE JOURNEYS
This work considers the 104 journeys that the Vicar of Christ undertook outside Italy throughout his Papacy, following the criteria put in place by the Holy See.
A chapter is dedicated to each journey in chronological order, presenting details of the postal issues distributed for the occasion, and ideally retracing the itinerary followed by the Pontiff. Both the issues produced by the countries that hosted the Pope over time and, at the end of each chapter, those issued by the Vatican in connection with the same itinerary are reproduced and described.
For the countries that received him, the research has involved the periods immediately before and after the visit up to approximately one year after the event: in fact, various realities, rather than announcing the experience, prefer to comment on it afterwards. In some cases, therefore, both focuses are highlighted.
The Vatican, on the other hand, has always upheld its own tradition: it waits a certain length of time - usually one or two years - and then it issues a commemorative series, generally dedicating a stamp to each itinerary. For example, the five projects completed in 1999 (Mexico and the United States together, Romania, Poland, Slovenia, India and Georgia) are celebrated with the same number of copies, which came out on the 1st September 2000. Sometimes more general subjects are added, as happened on the 3rd December 1981: alongside the places visited the previous year we have the papal coat of arms (50 lire) or His Holiness giving a blessing (900 lire).
To define the historical moment and provide further details in order to take both the journey and the circumstances in which it took place into consideration, a brief account of the visit is also given through the writings of journalists at the time or, subsequently, of the experts.
NOT JUST A PASTORAL VIEWPOINT
The creation of this collection aims to go further. Various visits were distinguished by one or more prominent themes, commemorated by special stamps issued around the time of the Pontiff's visit.
These include historical anniversaries, events, religious ceremonies that are worth noting: they are not strictly linked with the Pope's visit - although the Pope himself is involved - but they can help us fully understand its context.
His first stay in Argentina, from the 10th to the 13th June 1982, had one main motivation: to attempt mediation between Buenos Aires and London, divided by the bloody Falkland-Malvinas conflict. Of course, the South-American country highlights the presence of the Bishop of Rome on the 12th June, but the issues also help us understand the climate at the time, such as those from the 22nd April where the islands are shown as being Argentinean.
Another example: from the 6th to the 16th October 1989 the Pilgrim visited, in order, South Korea, Indonesia and Mauritius. Seoul did not issue any special stamps, but on the 4th October an 80 Won commemorates the 44th International Eucharistic Congress, organised in the Asian capital and attended by the Pontiff.

EXHIBITION OF THE PHOTO SERVICE
Piazza San Pietro, Braccio di Carlo Magno
25 April - 27 May 2007
Catalogue of the photographic exhibition (25 April - 27 May 2007 - Vatican City) devoted to the life of popes, to the Vatican and the Eternal City, organised by the photo service of "L'Osservatore Romano".
For the first time on show a selection of the most beautiful and original images taken from an archive which contains millions of clicks from 1930.
The Director of the Photo Service, Don Giuseppe Colombara, explains that "the aim of the exhibition is to put on view a sample of this iconographic wealth, with no pretension to being excessively methodical or exhaustive. The exhibition is divided into five areas by subject (the portraits of the Pontiffs, the History, the gallery of John Paul II, the gallery of Benedict XVI, various and curious) to be viewed at leisure to find a moving image, a typical scene, a particular frame, a face, an expression… Captions offer schematic information, but you do not need to read them really as images speak by themselves."

Introduction by Giovanni Malagò, Chairman of CONI
Through postage stamps, some essays, colour and printing proofs, postcards, even rare philatelic cancellations, and other postal documents, the Olympic Games phenomenon, analysed following political, social and time elements, religious and social aspects, discoveries and inventions, Coubertin and the XX century events.
A new kind of collection, giving importance not only to main protagonists, organizers and athletes, but also to events and people that have characterized and influenced about 3000 years of history. A well documented and detailed history, illustrated by thousands of philatelic and postal images.
The book is divided into four parts.
Part One - "The Games in Ancient Greece" - This section provides information concerning the most significant games in Ancient Greece, highlighting myth, legend and religious and social aspects.
Part Two - "The Revival" - After a gap that followed the end of the ancient Greek games, the modern Olympics were born. Here, above all in the eighteenth century, we come across the most important technological advances, outstanding historical events and prominent sporting achievement, all of which had a considerable influence on Pierre de Coubertin, the man who subsequently became a crucial figure in the Olympic revival. World events, ranging from the use of oil in industry, the discovery of electricity and invention of the telephone, were decisive in their contribution to the revival of the sport's world - to means of transport (which made getting from one place to another quicker and easier) and the great archaeological discoveries…; from Marxism to the Industrial Revolution, followed by the birth of Rugby, Oxford and Munch Wenloch with Père Didon and Evangelis Zappas.
Part Three - "Pierre Fredy de Decoubertin" - The revival of the Olympic games as seen through the work of this charismatic character.
Part Four - "The Games of Modern Era" - A look at the modern Olympics. This chapter examines the period of the Olympics ranging from Athens 1896 to London 2012. Not only the usual chronological list of dates and figures, but detailed information linking Olympia to world events and society in general. It focuses on people and the most relevant facts which influenced events in that period. The First World War, Nazism and its downfall, the Popular Olympics in Barcelona, concentration camps, the birth of Israel with all its inherent problems, China and Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea: the Maccabiah Games, the Spartakiads, the Asian Games, the Paralympics, apartheid, doping, Islamic terrorism… in other words, modern history, as seen through the eyes of the Olympic Games.
It also includes amusing facts and anecdotes relating to athletes who have, over the years, added lustre to the Olympic movement.
Olympia and Ancient Greece, Baron de Coubertin, Marxism, Nazism, two world wars, the atomic bomb; China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, Vietnam; terrorism, apartheid and Afghanistan, the great boycotts... with personalities and peculiarities from the Olympic world illustrated here, using images of stamps, postcards and rare philatelic items, a precious testament to the history of the Olympic games. An original literary proposal: the Olympic games a theme from which to discuss world history. A selection of all those crucial events, both positive and negative, which signified an advance or distortion, a transition or development and together connect moments between Olympic events and world history. Easy to read, in this book we find, not only the usual chronological list of dates and figures, but detailed information linking Olympia to world events, using in depth analysis and research, including all philatelic issues released by the host countries, up to London 2012.

For me, the magic in stamps is not the object itself, but the story which is illustrated by the stamp. Postage stamps are story tellers, tiny works of art whose subject matter and design provide a window into the social and political world of the time they were issued. Significantly, they are official, unbiased, story tellers as their documented movement through the postal system provides hard evidence of dates and places. Giuseppe Barion's book, "The OLYMPICS tell the History through philatelic images" is a wonderful example of how stamps and philatelic items can be used to tell a story; and what a story, the Olympic Games! The book provides a fresh and entertaining approach for philatelists and those interested in Olympic history, alike. For his fellow philatelists, Barion provides a very clear and practical example of how to use philatelic material in a very accessible manner to reach beyond the philatelic community and inform and entertain the public with an important story. For the wider public, he offers a new perspective on Olympic history, a new way to view the subject. Barion shows that stamps are part of living history. I congratulate Giuseppe Barion on his initiative in writing this book, and I hope that it will encourage other philatelists to unlock the treasure trove of stories contained in their collections and produce similar publications.

Creative prose on the postage stamps of the Kingdom of Italy
Preface by Francesco De Martino.
77 art prose inspired by 8 series particularly important of the Kingdom of Italy, appeared 1923 to 1942: the Fiftieth of Manzoni's death (1923); the Bi-millennium of Virgilio's death (1930); the "Pro Dante Alighieri" series (1932); the March on Rome Tenth Anniversary (1932); the Exhibition on summer colonies (1937); the Bi-millennium of Augusto's birth (1937); the Bi-millennium of Tito Livio's birth (1941); the third Centenary of Galileo Galilei's death (1942).
The postage stamps, reproduced in colour and enlarged so to highlight details, give the author narrative pretexts to tell the destiny of men. In the preface, the historical and literary context for the characters featured in the vignettes and for the author's texts.
The book is ideally connected to the one issued in 2012 "Forge, grape harvest and timber", dedicated to the postage stamps of the series "Italy at work".

It contains more than 1300 colour reproductions of postage stamps relating to the history of astronomy, ranging from the earliest observations of the sky to modern research conducted with satellites and space probes. Many stamps illustrate the beauty and the mystery of celestial objects: galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, satellites, comets, and minor celestial bodies.
Featured are also the astronomers and astrophysicists who contributed to this marvellous story - not only Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Herschel, and Einstein but also hundreds of other minor protagonists who played an important role in the development of this, the most ancient yet the most modern of all the sciences.

Through postage stamps, some essays, colour and printing proofs, postcards, even rare philatelic cancellations, and other postal documents, the Olympic Games phenomenon, analysed following political, social and time elements, religious and social aspects, discoveries and inventions, Coubertin and the XX century events.
A new kind of collection, giving importance not only to main protagonists, organizers and athletes, but also to events and people that have characterized and influenced about 3000 years of history. A well documented and detailed history, illustrated by thousands of philatelic and postal images.
The book is divided into four parts.
Part One - "The Games in Ancient Greece" - This section provides information concerning the most significant games in Ancient Greece, highlighting myth, legend and religious and social aspects.
Part Two - "The Revival" - After a gap that followed the end of the ancient Greek games, the modern Olympics were born. Here, above all in the eighteenth century, we come across the most important technological advances, outstanding historical events and prominent sporting achievement, all of which had a considerable influence on Pierre de Coubertin, the man who subsequently became a crucial figure in the Olympic revival. World events, ranging from the use of oil in industry, the discovery of electricity and invention of the telephone, were decisive in their contribution to the revival of the sport's world - to means of transport (which made getting from one place to another quicker and easier) and the great archaeological discoveries…; from Marxism to the Industrial Revolution, followed by the birth of Rugby, Oxford and Munch Wenloch with Père Didon and Evangelis Zappas.

Italian writers in philately
The book dissects in a monographic and comprehensive way the connections between Italian writers and philately: the Author, in his extensive treatment, has followed the way how Italian writers were represented on postage stamps, that thus become a precious means for disseminating information and culture.
He follows in detail the thread of the philatelic issues of traditional Italian nations in the Italian area, namely Italy, San Marino and Vatican City, dividing the treatment into 14 dense chapters.
The first author celebrated in philately was Dante Alighieri, in 1921, followed by Alessandro Manzoni, two years later. Since then, dozen writers have been impressed in a postage stamp. They often are classic authors, but in recent decades the faces and writings of the most important authors of the XXth century have found a place too, Primo Levi to Tomasi di Lampedusa, Montale to Quasimodo.
The book also talks about not Italian writers (Latin and foreign). There are, then, guessable connections to history, since postage stamps also contain a political message, in a more or less evident way, and reflect the changes in habits (think, for example, about the role of women in postage stamps, regarding which the author writes persuasive and informed pages).
159 colour postage stamps of writers are displayed in the appendix to the book, so to have an immediate visual feedback.

Italian writers in world philately
The title of the book draws on the juxtaposition between Dante and the eagle, present on an Italian stamp of 1921. The Florentine writer has always been considered abroad, properly, one of the most pregnant symbols of Italian character and, as a consequence, the interest towards his person and work has often coincided with the attention towards the Italian culture in general or, at least, towards the literary one.
This is the starting point to examine the way how Italian writers have been considered in foreign philately, for a long time, up to the present days.
Starting from the interpretation of philatelic data, widening the speech with data taken from history, history of art and, in general, from the universe of communication, the text spreads onto the consideration shown abroad towards the main Italian writers. In fact all the stamps studied in this book are the ones that various nations, among which USA, Russia, Germany and Argentina, have devoted to writers of the calibre of Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Machiavelli and Goldoni, up to more recent ones, such as Grazia Deledda, Dino Buzzati and Dario Fo.
In appendix, a section in colour of philatelic plates shows the main postal values proposed in the text.

Chap. II - Italian exceptions and Latin classics
Chap. III - The two times of Dante's fortune

Environmental, social, cultural and economic eco-friendship through thematic philately
Post and philately have always played an important role in the history of great universal exhibits. As a consequence Milan EXPO 2015 too had to include the presence of philately.
The present volume, born from the collaboration between CIFT (Italian Centre of thematic philately) and PLEF (Planet life economy foundation), completely illustrated with theme postage stamps and postcards, proposes a gathering of collections about how, in the world, postage stamps narrate environmental, social and economic themes that mark the duties of eco-friendship for humankind.
The themes represented are: non eco-friendship, climate, ground, water, air, Sun, cultural heritage and social and economic patrimony, architecture, transport, garbage, eco-friendly food and human health, great conferences.

Handbook and Specialized catalogue
The catalogue describes in detail the launches of single rockets, with the support of technical, historical, biographic and philatelic information, and gives documented prices for the analysed items.
The chapter regarding rocket mail pioneers replaces the previous editions of 1967 and 1973 by Ellington Zwisler. Compared to them, the present edition is widened e and many results of the researches are published here for the first time.
The astronauts brought documents together with their private luggage on the occasion of all the flights to the Moon, from Apollo 11 to Apollo 16. Special handstamps of the USA mail have landed on the Moon: respectively 1 with Apollo 11 and 2 with Apollo 15. All the onboard letters of the Soviet and Russian cosmonauts are catalogued for the first time, from Sojuz 4 of January 1969 to Sojuz TMA-18M of March 2016. Many space letters have flown onboard Space Shuttles or unmanned Dragon spaceships. Chinese too have transported documents in the Space, making manned and unmanned flights. In November 1960, 28 covers onboard the spy satellite Discoverer 17 have made 30 rides around the Earth. In October 2014, documents onboard the Chinese probe Chang'e 5-T1 have made a ride around the Earth. The signatures of all the 556 astronauts from Juri Gagarin to Timothy Peake complete the work.
From the introduction by the Author:
Between the two world wars, young researchers in different countries launched rockets carrying letters and cards. Some of them undertook preliminary tests towards space travels.
They wanted to supply distant villages with mail, accelerate mail-delivery over long distances and start space travels.
For the first time on 3 October 1942, an A-4 / V-2 rocket reached a height of 84.5 km, which was considered space back then.
Later on, rocket mail flights not leaving the gravity of the Earth could not significantly contribute to rocketry and space exploration. Therefore, Pioneer-Rocket Mail ends with the end of WWII.
Space mail are letters and covers that were flown into space at an altitude of 100 km (328,084 feet): Space is defined to begin at an altitude of 100 km according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale - FAI.
Onboard covers document an event on board the space station, sometimes an event on the Earth or an anniversary. Most of them are signed by all crewmembers.
During Soviet times numerous souvenir covers with onboard postmarks were made before launch and after the landing. Many bear the signatures of the cosmonauts involved.
Not all the covers transported contain a letter inside.
At the end of 1988 a postal date stamp arrived on board the Russian Mir space station. Since then cosmonauts mark letters transported from the Earth with the date of docking of the spacecraft which transported them to the space station. Letters sent to the Earth are postmarked with the date of undocking from the space station. A board letter carries addresses and details.
Unless otherwise noted, letter means "cover with content". This includes that either the receiver is already on board the space station, or the cosmonaut writing the letter remains in space, when the letter is delivered to the Earth.
