GENERAL CATALOGUE OF AIR MAIL IN ITALY
1941-2015

This catalogue starts with the first mail in the world carried by a jet flight (Campini-Caproni 1941), it continues with the first world mail at supersonic speed (Istrana-Pratica di Mare 1973 and Aviano-Trapani Birgi 1976) and ends with the first mail in the world carried by a drone (Rome EURO, Alfredo Berra Stadium 2014); all Italian aerophilatelic records.

From a postal-historic point of view, the author has tried to underline the most significant aspects that aerophilately itself contains: such as the study of air mail rates in force from the end of WWII up to the present days, the use of postage stamps and the various franking so called rare, the examination of the various postmarking of departure and of arrival, or in transit.

Precise references are included too regarding all the helps and the connections that the Italian Military Air Force has always given and keep on giving, both by a substantial support of pilots, means, technologies and aircrafts granted to the new postwar airline aviation; both, later, when the Italian Air Force has become active protagonist in the aerophilatelic field, by means of a long series of mail flight and air couriers aimed to celebrate the most significant milestones of its history and the most relevant aeronautic events.

From the first edition in 1991 to today, this catalogue has contributed to play the attention and the interest of a wider number of collectors and lovers of aviation on aerophilately.

CATALOGUE OF ITALIAN SPECIAL POSTMARKS 1961-1962

Series of studies about postmarks n.12 of A.N.C.A.I. (the Italian national association for collectors of Italian postmarks).

This volume about the years 1961-62 ends the cataloguing of the Italian special postmarks, endeavour that has committed ANCAI for over forty years.
The period up to the beginning of '60ies takes on a great interest and charm, both for the demonstrations it refers to and because the separate services at those times were out-and-out postal offices, as a consequence the material worked is very peculiar.
The author has prepared the present work in spite of the evident difficulties: you only have to remember that press releases of temporary services did not exist at those times and that the complete destruction of the archives makes any research by the Offices of Italian Post impossible. This volume has come full circle, allowing ANCAI to get the credit for the complete treatise of the special postmarks of the whole Italian Postal History.

AEROFILIA ITALIANA 1884-1920
From the Pioneers of Aviation to the "Aces" of the Great War
CATALOGUE OF AIR FORCE POSTMARKS
Pioneering period, Italian-Turkish Conflict, First World War

The historical descriptive catalogue of Italian air force postmarks, with the foreword by Roberto Gentilli, aircraft historian.

In the centenary of Italy's entry into World War I, in 2015, a comprehensive study about all the known (at the moment) postmarks used by the different aviation units (1,423 postmarks listed, from forerunners to the end of World War I), with their rarity point evaluations, based on the frequency of each postmark, of its colour, and of the possible military postmark impressed on the item in question.

Within the Italian-Turkish Conflict, the leaflets in Arab language are listed, for the first time, with their translation into Italian, in addition to the messages dropped from airships to the Italian troops. They add an unreleased element to the history of aviation seen by an aerophilatelist and from the point of view of the history of military mail.

Much interest is given by the little known news about the presence of the Italian aviation units in Albania, Macedonia, Dalmatia, France, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania and of the allied aviation forces of France and Great Britain in Italy during World War I.

Each chapter is introduced by the history of aviation relevant to each period in question (forerunners, Italian-Turkish Conflict and World War I), from balloonists to airship crew members, to the aviators of the Italian Royal Army and of the Italian Royal Navy, and by the relocation of the units, within the historical period examined. That means a chronological history of the Italian military aviation and of the postmarks used from 1884 to 1920, from the pioneering period to the end of World War I (including the two following years for those units that were not disbanded immediately after the Armistice).

Bibliography
From the FOREWORD by Roberto Gentilli, aircraft historian

A current word in the academic field, interdisciplinarity means, according to the official definition, the net of relationships of complementarity, integration and interaction thanks to which different disciplines converge in common principles, tending to approach and unify the isolated parts and the fragmentary moments of the present specialized knowledge.
Fiorenzo Longhi, through his works, [...], has been able to lay a bridge of interdisciplinarity between philately and aeronautic historiography.

"Aerofilia" receives a series of fundamental points from military historiography: the deployment of divisions, news about the airplanes used [...] But, in turn, it offers much more, a series of documents that give confirmation of dates, places, people not by means of statistical summaries or reports, but through living, authentic documents, with dates and places certified by postmarks. [...]

Moreover, research in this volume is so accurate to go beyond the simple confirmation; it brings incontrovertible proof of presence, relocation, time, elements which had escaped aeronautic researchers' attention, thus creating problems and uncertainty, but also new fascinating perspectives.

Interdisciplinarity generated by different passions, but also by a common respect for accurate research and commitment for the preservation of historical memories, enriches us, in the hope that care given to every envelope, to every leaflet thrown from an airplane, to every newspaper sent via air mail, is diffused and of help in order to avoid the small tragedies that occur every time that young people throw their grandfather's old papers into a garbage bin.

But there is a last point that I wish to stress. In the Centenary of the Great War, commemorated even by Italy, a country unfocused, like just a few others, on its own history, the aeronautic historians who discover the world of "aerofilia" are brought back to the human aspect of the conflict.
It is not only a matter of airplanes, of kilos of bombs thrown, of identification numbers or of claiming of shooting down, the objects that its research tends to be restricted to, but of men. [...]

The value of research of "aerofilia", therefore, is not only the corroboration offered to the historical research, but the human dimension it enriches that of, and for which we thank Fiorenzo Longhi.

******************************
From the PREFACE by Fiorenzo Longhi

Different from what, already long ago, has been fulfilled in other countries and in spite of the historical interest of the connected events, a systematic study of the special postmarks impressed on mail and on official documents of the air force units has never been undertaken in Italy.
[...]

The air force handstamps are of various kind, generally in gum and impressed in violet ink.
More rarely in other colours (blue, red, green) or black.
The postmarks used on mail are sometimes the same as those impressed on the usual exchange of documents within the unit.
Other postmarks, instead, lead us to believe that Aviation units had an autonomous form of censorship [...]

The air force postmarks were impressed on mail just to complete, in a rapid, easy and clear way, the indication of the sender, but this kind of completion could have been done also manually.
Not only: even official documents usually lack of the air force or commander postmarks.
It is therefore probable that precise rules had not been dictated, by the supreme authorities, military or of the State, regarding types, sizes, or text, leaving every commander free to choose, and, very likely, the use of special postmarks on mail has been much less frequent in some units than in others.

Adding to all these considerations the long time passed, the fact that only a minimal part of the correspondence is generally kept and that the interest by Italian collectors in this field has always been rather lacking, we can be almost certain that the possibility of the integral completing of the postmarks of all the air force units of the Italian Royal Army and of the Italian Royal Navy [...] has to be considered, if not impossible, highly uncertain.

As regards the historical events of the units of Navy, Airship crew members and Balloonists, I had to draw hardly from various sources, sometimes contrasting, and so I decided to privilege only those few official documents that I have had the luck to trace in private and public archives.
Fiorenzo Longhi was born in Milan in 1938 and lives by Lake Maggiore.
After obtaining the scientific A levels, he graduates in Economics and Business at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1966 and works as director in an engineering company for twenty years.
Since his childhood, he cultivates the hobby of philately and history, and afterwards he passes to the study of postal history in little known fields such as the first issues of the Ottoman Empire and of Ecuador, Italian air mail and the flights of Italian pilots abroad, creating, in the course of years, some important collections and one of the most complete libraries of philately, postal history and aeronautic history.
He is awarded the maximum rewards in the National and World competitive philatelic exhibitions (6 Large Gold Medals and numerous Grand Prix from 1976 to 1978).
Since 1979, he exhibits only in the Honour Class or upon invitation in National and International exhibitions.
He publishes numerous articles, chapters in specialized books, one book and two catalogues, always dealing with little known or unreleased subjects relevant to postal history and aeronautic history.
He is enrolled in the National Register of Philatelic Jury Members since 1982 and he is an International Philatelic Jury Member.
He is enrolled in the Golden Register of Italian Philately since 1979; since 1995, in the Register of Expert Witnesses of the Court in Verbania for Philately; since 1996, in the Philately Category, in the Expert Role of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Crafts and Agriculture in Verbano Cusio Ossola.
He is Life Member of the American Air Mail Society and member of the following Italian and foreign associations: A.I.E.P. International Association of Philatelic Experts (Italy, Air Mail - Ecuador, Air Mail); A.P.F.I.P Associazione Periti Filatelici Italiani Professionisti; Borsa Filatelica Nazionale; Federazione fra le Società Filateliche Italiane; Accademia Italiana di Filatelia e Storia Postale; Istituto di Studi Storici Postali; Unione Filatelica Lombarda; A.I.S.P.

THE NEW GAGGERO
Catalogue of squared circle postmarks of the Kingdom of Italy 2016

This second edition of the catalogue introduces numerous changes compared to the first one, brilliantly edited by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi.
It is not a simple update of the squared circle postmarks of the Kingdom of Italy (1890-1920), though it includes more than 1,200 new findings (now 8,204 postmarks are included in the catalogue): for example, it highlights all the postmarks seen and known for sure up to now, accompanying them with the first and the last year of use known; it shows, in consideration of the particular type of mark, the separation of the writing of the upper crown and of the lower crown, allowing a precise identification; more than 20 pages of introduction with historical details, the origin, philatelic background, criteria of evaluations, shapes and typology of postmarks, point valuations.

The catalogue is divided by region and in alphabetical order by province. Moreover, it is accompanied by a very useful index of places with the relevant number of catalogue and province initials.

It collects more than fifty years of researches by scholars, who have gathered a huge amount of data and who have made it available with great sensibility and collaboration.

Catalogue and guide to collecting vinyl records of pop rock music produced in Italy

By means of a chronological reconstruction, the catalogue reports the market quotations of 360 complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, corresponding to more than 11,000 45 and 33 records. The work presents, with several hundreds of images, also the imaging evolution of the Italian vinyl labels of 55 record companies, further to a story "Italy in vinyl" and to 130 biographic hints of the main performers of pop rock music.
The reference is, above all in the first part, to Italy in the vinyl years, a country at the heights of its social and economic development that, by means of millions of records produced, showed to be able also to propose original and innovative musical ways, in spite of the suggestions of foreign brands.
In the second part, a lot of room is given to the performers of vinyl pop rock, with 130 biographic hints that help lovers to link record making to the artistic life of performers.
In the third and fourth part, the catalogue introduces, with hundreds of reproductions, the history and the imaging evolution of brands as protection of copyright together with the one of record companies and of their labels, giving to collectors an additional important support to identify original productions.
The fifth part, the main one, is based upon a selection of complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, with the relevant market quotations.

The most used type of watermark was the one with "crossed keys"; the "winged wheel watermark first type" was used only in the series Pro prisoners 1945, Holy Year 1949 and Centenary of the Palatine guard 1950. In all other cases, and in particular starting from the 1970s, paper without watermark was used.

The numbering adopted is that of the Sassone catalogue.
