STAMPS AND POSTAL HISTORY OF TRIESTE, PULA, RIJEKA, ISTRIA AND THE SLOVENIAN COAST UNDER THE YUGOSLAVIAN MILITARY ADMINISTRATION
1945-1947

Extremely accurate philatelic and postal-historical study, based on Italian and Yugoslavian sources: the overprinted Italian postage stamps and stationery and the "Istra Littorale sloveno" occupation issues.

The most complete work on that dramatic period on the eastern Italian border, with postage stamps and postal history events that are rightfully part of Italian postal history.

This is the Italian translation of the volume published in English in 2009.

As far as valuations are concerned, the traditional prudence of this catalogue has given the possibility to touch down many figures. On the contrary, increases are recorded both for the less available pieces and for particularly popular sectors such as advertising items, and for the more modern part. And the same "indication" of the market, reasonably tended to rise, is put into practice for the first time for a sector such as the colonial one, especially the shipping slips of the '900, often unavailable but remained for too long at a 30 year ago valutations.

POSTCARDS BY A. BERTIGLIA
Vol.I
Double meaning, music, arts and crafts, traditions and society

The work of the illustrator Aurelio Bertiglia is really vast and wide-ranging. More than three thousand different drawings in postcards, with distinct painting styles as if it were not the same author.
The present volume gathers most of his productions about specific themes among the many dealt with by him: double meaning, music, arts and crafts, traditions and society.
At the end of the volume the index by theme, the reproduction of the back of the postcards, the logotype of the publishing houses, the descriptive index with all the postcards.
