SASSONE 2021 - CANCELLATIONS
ITALIAN STATES - ITALIAN TERRITORIES IN THE AUSTRIAN EMPIRE - AUSTRIAN LEVANT - KINGDOM OF ITALY (KING VITTORIO EMANUELE II)

The only catalogue with all the cancellations used in Italy up to 1865 has been greatly revised, with updates indicated by the best experts in the subject.

This edition presents point valuations (converted into quotations at the beginning of each chapter) for every cancellation used in the different pre-unity states starting from the pre-adhesive period just before the introduction of postage stamps to the use of "numeral" cancellations.

Moreover, all cancellations used in the Italian Territories of the Austrian Empire, in the Austrian Levant, in the offices abroad, and all French marks used to cancel postage stamps of the Italian area on mail travelled "Via Sea", the cancellations of Navigation on the great Italian Lakes, the use of French postage stamps in the offices of Civil Post in 1859 and 1860, maritime mail, the great Italian harbours.

Compared to the previous edition of 2015, the valuations of the prefilatelic cancellations have been gathered in a single chapter and two new ones have been added: one dedicated to the accessory cancellations; the other to the Third War of Independence (1866), with the listing and valuation of "Austrian" and "Italian" franking and their use in the post offices in Veneto and Friuli.

Catalogue with valuations

Over the years a lot of important collections have been examined as well as numerous submissions from collectors and lovers have been received.
That has allowed to update the over 75,000 pieces of data contained in this catalogue, which present about 7,000 variations compared with the previous edition. This amount may appear very high; however, one must keep in mind that this sector of cancellations, since the publishing of the Ricci - Vaccari edition of 1992, has kept expanding among the collectors and consequently the research has grown more and more, leading to the discovery of material which had been neglected for years.

In this edition, the historical section has been revised as well and is now totally in colour, even if it has not been necessary to change the text in its substance. The illustration section has been completely changed so that it will be easier to recognize the type of the nominal cancellations which went together with the numeral ones, thanks to the colour pictures.

Bibliography
Paolo Vaccari took up the hobby of philately and postal history as a child by collecting postage stamps and participating in exhibitions, conferences and seminars. In 1977 he decided to put his wealth of experience and knowledge into practice when he turned his passion into a business to which he could dedicate all his time. The postal history and stamp business was enriched with the publishing activity in 1989, together with his daughters, which came to publish important volumes of philatelic literature, some of them written by Paolo Vaccari himself. From this date onward he has published about 100 catalogues and numerous treatises on postal history, among which the "Catalogo Vaccari - Francobolli e storia postale - Antichi Stati Italiani, Governi provvisori, Regno d'Italia - 1850-1900". The catalogue has reached its XIV edition, after 20 years of publication, and over the years has received prestigious recognition nationally and internationally. Furthermore, "Vaccari Magazine", whose editor is Paolo Vaccari, has also achieved excellent worldwide recognition and celebrated thirty years in 2018.

He also received the "Regione Toscana" cup and the "Fiorino d'Oro" for displaying specialized collections centred on the Grand Duchy of Tuscany philately of the XIX century.
In 2008 he received the "Ragno d'Oro - UNICEF" award in the trade category, an award granted to people from Modena who have contributed to increasing the prestige of the city of Modena within the country and abroad.

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.

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.
