SFIZI. DI. POSTAHistory through mail, mail through history
Preface by Gianfranco Jannuzzo
Historical introduction by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi
The «sfizi di posta», in this volume 30 never published before, are "pieces" that are streamlined, short, immediate, and above all curious, fun, intriguing.
Anecdotes and stories told using letters, postcards, telegrams, observing their postage, postmarks of departure, arrival, transit and postal censorship and investigating the various underlying worlds. In a sequence of postal documents, chosen in a time span ranging from 1820 to 1949, we encounter stories of marriages of the past, natural disasters, village squabbles, the tragedy of two wars, Silvio Pellico, Umberto Nobile, Cesare Pavese.
Men and women in their public or private lives, actors in small and large events that have fuelled history, crystallized in postal memories, brought to life for the time of a brief reading.
For some 'sfizi' the reader will find a box entitled "The eye of the graphologist" in which Mirka Mantoan, Criminalist expert in Forensic Sciences, specialized in expert-judicial Graphology, Expert and Consultant Graphologist registered with the Civil and Criminal Court of Verona, will delve into the graphological aspects of the cursive text of some writings in order to trace the character profile of the protagonists.

LEONI SERIESStudy of print runs
This volume deals with the method of printing "typographic" postage stamps with royal effigy, starting from the first series of the Kingdom, up to the dawn of rotogravure printing, in particular the Leoni series.
Relevance was given to the plate numbers, through which the chronological reconstruction of the different print runs that followed one another in approximately a quarter of a century becomes possible.
Research conducted with a scientific method and adequately in-depth allows us to compare the results and verify the validity of the hypotheses made following the analysis of large quantities of specimens and historical sources.
The aim is to collect, in a single text, as much information as possible on the topic of Italian typographic postage stamps and, at the same time, make readers participate in this research, show the new evidence found and provide tools and methods to those who wish to undertake or deepen the study of this branch of philately.

The essays of the Historical Museum of Communication
From the archives of the Historical Museum of Communication in Rome, a "treasure" of approximately 1,700 essays for postage stamps never materialized or sometimes "crystallized" at an earlier stage than they would have arrived at the post office counters. Items that have only partially, so far, been published in any specialist article.
Now they are collected, all together, in the book created by the Museum itself in collaboration with the Italian Philatelic Press Union.
The image of each item is proposed, associated with the title, summary description, main thematic categories, author, measures, inventory code attributed by the Museum.
There are numerous specialists, famous and otherwise, who in almost one century, from 1922 to 2000, have tried their hand at this communication method. Their works tell the story of the past, from great characters to battles, from artistic expressions to monuments. But they also document their present, such as institutional and political aspects, sporting events, the post-war recovery effort, European construction, campaigns against smoking and drugs, the protection of nature, road accidents...
Thus we discover the alternatives set aside, titles hypothesized and never realised. In short, a... behind the scenes that brings the reader closer to a fascinating sector, rich in cultural ideas that deserves to be valorised.

From the foreword by HRH Maria Gabriella of Savoy: "History seen through postage stamps, cancels and postal documents; it is quite original even from the standpoint of politics.978-88-85335-78-3
I became immediately enthusiastic about the idea of following my father's kingdom in 1946 in that peculiar way."
To show that specific and very interesting moment in Italian history, when the Kingdom of Italy came to its end, postal documents are really important as they allow us to follow "day by day" the historical development.
And it is a "postal calendar" which guides us through the 36 days relevant to the Kingdom of Umberto II, the "King of May", last King of Italy. Letters, postcards, documents which follow the events from 9 May 1946, the day on which H.M. Victor Emmanuel III abdicated the throne in favour of his son Umberto, Prince of Piedmont, to 13 June 1946, when H.M. Umberto II decided to leave Italy following the results of the 2 June 1946 referendum, through which the Italians chose between Republic and Monarchy.
Mail, images, documents, showing also previous and following moments, contribute in creating a complete picture of the period. They have been selected in order to enrich and deepen postal-historical knowledge.

The authors
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.
Paolo Vaccari received the Philatelic Oscar from the Italian Academy of Philately and Postal History for the numerous studies he has published.
For the volume "Sicilia 1859 - Comparative plates of stamps" he received the award of the Italian Philatelic Press Union.
He has received over one hundred awards of recognition worldwide for his written and published works.
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.
He is a philatelic expert for the C.C.I.A.A. and the Court of Modena.
He has taken part in appraisals and provided expert analyses for Credit Institutions.
He is a member of the national register of journalists, special section, and of the "Unione Stampa Filatelica Italiana" (USFI).

New edition of the catalogue on Italian perfins.Since the publication of the first catalogue in 2000 and of its update in 2005, both sold out, it has been a continuous discovery of new patterns and of new users of old or new perfins, not to mention ampler utilization periods of time and additional detailed information.
All the patterns known are now collected in the present work, illustrated by original shape and dimensions, each one accompanied by useful details (name of user and activity, place and period of use, number given by other catalogues).
A very exhaustive introduction explains the origins, usage and way of collecting perfins.
Enclosed, 32 plates, on transparent drafting paper. The 1107 patterns known have been inserted full size in boxes, in alphabetical order, with their relevant catalogue number. The plates are a really precious tool to facilitate cataloguing the perfins on documents or on fragments, a task that is often made difficult by the scarce visibility of the little holes and by the inverted and/or reversed position of the pattern.
It will suffice to select the reference pattern the closest to the perforation to be identified, and to place it onto the perfin examined, in the same position, either upright, or inverted, or reversed. When the position of the holes of the reference template coincides with the original, one will be sure of the correct classification of the specimen.
Enclosed even a CD with 608 colour reproductions of documents franked with perfins, each one with the reference to the pattern in the catalogue.
Patterns reproduction, layout and graphics by Gianluigi Roncetti. English translation by Lucio Bertolazzi.

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".

THE POSTAL REFORM OF 1863 IN THE KINGDOM OF ITALYLaws, Agreements, Documents, Rates
The Postal Reform of 1863 marked a turning point in the Italian postal context. The birth of the Kingdom of Italy compelled the Legislator to elaborate a rule which, after all, would not displease anyone from North to South.
The Law of 5 May 1862, n.604, which reformed the postal system, cannot be regarded as an end in itself but merely as a link between a fragmentary pre-unity postal period and a modern one after the unity of Italy. For this reason, the historical exegesis of every content is essential, by verifying all the transformations that regulations have undergone in the years before and after 1863 directly from the original texts.
The Author investigates this important historical moment in a new way, to leave the pleasure of personally verifying the legislative sources to scholars and collectors. More than 600 colour images, indeed, show, in original, more than 80 laws, agreements and decrees reported in full or with the most significant and relevant articles that retrace postal regulations from 1818 to 1888, highlighting the evolution that the various rules have undergone over the years.
This process is accompanied by more than 250 postal documents that testify the regulatory changes that have taken place mainly with regard to rates but without neglecting dates, routes and historical news.
The volume, elaborated with material from the Author's own collections, set up in many years of passionate researches, ends with a detailed list of all laws and decrees in chronological order.

The author has undertaken a study of the service basing himself on all the legislative and normative sources of the first 35 years of the service (1881-1914) gathering and analysing an enormous amount of official documents.
The volume contextualizes the historical situation that has determined the beginning of the service with the signature of the agreement of Paris of 1880; it clarifies what laws, regulations and instructions discipline the service both for inland and for abroad, for the Italian Offices abroad and for Italian Colonies; it explains the evolution of the various kinds of postal bulletins and their franking methods; it specifies the evolution of the services and of the rates for inland and for abroad (the rates for abroad are gathered in 35 pages and they had never been published before); it quantifies the service evolution with official statistical data of forwarding and it introduces a picture of the goods sent (275 millions of parcels, of which 26 to foreign countries, have been sent from Italy in the first 35 years of service, for a total transport of over one million of tons of goods); it presents interesting philatelic considerations, including the estimate of the existing material and the rarity of the various forwarding bulletins.
In the Appendix, the complete list of the paragraphs about "Postal Bulletins", pertaining to the service of parcels put into circulation from 1881 to 1914 and one "overview" with the colour reproduction of 64 postal bulletins particularly interesting with their relevant description.

NOTES ABOUT 20 CENTESIMI POSTAGE STAMPS
The text wants to be of service to those who wish to start learning concepts about a topic quite obscure.
The authors have started observing the 20 centesimi postage stamps because the black overprint comes out in a clean and precise way on the "basic" carmine postage stamp.
By means of images and enlargements, it is possible to observe the features of the overprint and the different varieties attributable to the single positions inside the plate setting.

Italian and English text
The process of unification of the postal system came to an end with the law promulgated in 1862 which entered into force on 1st January 1863, the date when the Italian post office was born, and the authors did well to consider it as the beginning of their work.
Everything was different: for each destination, rules, rates, service possibilities, routes. A real jumble in which the sender could extricate himself only with the mediation of the postal service. And, in the materiality of postal documents, all this translated into three great semiotic categories that are recognizable today: postage stamps, postmarks, handwritten indications. A redundant and costly complexity for the sender of the time. Which, however, due to a fascinating reversal of occasions over time, today is transformed into a delight and an exciting field of investigation for the researcher: this is the topic of this volume.
The three categories of signs must be read together to arrive at the decoding of the document; the reading of each postal document (letters and other objects, whether or not encumbered by accessory services) must be preceded by a careful study of the regulations, of the international treaties, in short, of the rules, of which the document is the final outcome. An exquisitely historical way of proceeding, which the authors of this beautiful volume master with certain ease.
It has already been said about the upper chronological limit - 1st January 1863 - and the choice is very correct. The authors explain the lower one: that jumble mentioned above had a first moment of simplification thanks to the creation of the General Union of the Post that dictated the first rules. Then, on 1st April 1879, the General Union became "universal".

A VOYAGE THROUGHOUT PHILATELY AND POSTAL HISTORY
The six chapters (In Italy, War and Post-war period, outside Italy, Peculiar uses, Cancellations, Fiscals) examine the origins, the rates, the types and varieties, the uses of those values issued from 1906, whose subject consists of the effigy of king Vittorio Emanuele III, and whose name brings to mind the artist author of the drawing, Nestore Leoni.
The postage stamps and the postal stationery bearing the cameo effigy of the king of Italy were intended for the most diverse uses, from ordinary to express, air and pneumatic mail, up to advertisement stamps, the so called BLP, and to the overprints for the territories obtained after the Great War (including Bolzano postage due stamps), Italian colonies, domains and offices outside Italy. The effigy was then used for fiscals until the 50's of last century, when Italy had become a Republic and the king was dead.
By using hundreds of pieces including covers, postal stationery and postage stamps, illustrated in colour, the author is able to retrace the "great" history of the early decades of the XX century by means of the many "small" stories arising from them. For the sake of clarity, every chapter contains a chart with the values issued, the period and the relevant kind of use.

POSTAL HISTORY OF THE TAKING OF ROME
Postal History Italian Association
The approach followed for this work is detached from a mere and simple historical-postal treatment that sees the taking of Rome as an almost lightning-fast process in 1870. The authors outline the path within the "Roman question", which finds ground fertile for political discussion and military action in the decade preceding the annexation of the city.
In the first chapter there is a careful analysis of the events, accompanied by significant iconographic documentation, in order to fully frame the effects of the events on the postal service, starting with the vain attempted conquest of 1867.
The chapters on civil and military mail of 1870 follow: also in this case the discussion appears not devoid of innovative contents and methods, from a modern historical-postal perspective, which favours the full contextualization of the document within the historical event under consideration.
There is therefore no calendar presentation of the pieces (many those who have made their material available to illustrate the volume) concerning, for example, Rome, but the same documents become testimony and transfiguration of events.
It should also be noted the handling of mail to and from foreign countries during those months and a census of the use of papal postage stamps first and later Italian ones, which again can represent an incentive for the enhancement of the items, as well as to provide new stimuli and ideas for further and in-depth research.

LE ALPI E LE VIE DELLA POSTA
DIE ALPEN UND DIE WEGE DER POST
232 pp. - colour and b/n ill. - hardbound - printed 2020
Italian and German text
This book was born from the encounter of two cultural interests of the author, the study of human settlements and of the routes across the Alps and his collecting passion for postal history.
The work describes the history of the post through the Alps crossings from the Roman period to the XIX century. It aims at giving an overall picture of a phenomenon that has affected many and different regions over the centuries, by emphasizing not only the postal history perspective but also human stories, the road network, means of transportation and hospitality places. It is a "story" based on texts, news and information collected through the years, addressed also to the reader curious in Alpine crossings.
The passages that have been connecting northern Italy with border countries for centuries are described geographically, while under a historical point of view, the postal history through the Alps ends with the beginning of the big transalpine railways, at the end of the XIX century, which "deleted" an alpine land made of routes and post stations, by carrying bags of correspondence from a plain city to another.
The first part concerns the European postal system evolution from Cursus Publicus to the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in the XIX century, and also the alternate events relevant to the transalpine road network, the means of transportation of the post across the Alps over the centuries and the hospitality history along the roads travelled by the post.
In the second part there is the history of that alpine passes that have been mandatory passages for the international postal services, for nearly two thousand years, recalling the evolution of the services and rediscovering, where possible, proofs of ancient routes and historic hospitality places where mail, goods and travellers could find a shelter during a very often adventurous trip.
The Alps have never been a barrier among people and since the time of emperor Augustus up today, thanks to their structure, the transfer of men, goods and mail has never ceased. The easy passages between one chain and another have made the history of postal relations between Po Valley in the South and central and northern European countries in the North, and the names of these Alpine crossings, often on letter-fronts, still indicate the great doors open in the Continent's heart.

from 1867 to 1917
The purpose of this contribution is to provide an updated and as complete as possible overview of all the collecting offices in the province of Belluno, starting from when, after a long Austrian period, in 1866 it became Italian, until the beginning of November 1917, because during the retreat following Caporetto defeat, all post offices and collecting offices in the province were closed.
In this study the author, using a lot of material also from other collectors and many archival data, did not limit himself to classifying the specific italics, octagonal, squared postmarks, but he went further by also taking into consideration those with large circle, squared circle and guller type.
He did not deal only with postmarks: he went deeper by explaining the functioning of these collecting offices and their evolution.
The table presented is very interesting and, above all, also applicable to many other Italian provinces and situations.
No points or rarity valuations have been assigned.

POINT VALUATIONS WITH RANGE IN EURO
The work is meant to illustrate the postal implications of the Italian military presence in the Far East, from 1861 to 1947 (from the unification of Italy until the return to China of the Tientsin Concession, following the Paris peace treaty).
The aim is to tell the story of the Italian presence that derives from the use of soldiers and/or civilians and which is accompanied by postal aspects of interest for the purposes of postal history.
The book is developed in seven parts:
- the years from 1861 to 1899: the first institutional contracts with China, with the sending of the R.N. "Magenta" (1866), up to the issue of San Mun Bay;
- the years from 1900 to 1905: the "Boxer" war (1900), with the sending of an Expeditionary Corps, the establishment of a Royal Navy Detachment in China and the creation of an Italian territorial Concession in Tientsin;
- the years from 1906 to 1914: the period preceding the outbreak of the First World War, with the Beijing-Paris car raid and the urban development of the Italian Concession of Tientsin;
- the years from 1915 to 1919: the First World War, with the story of the "Unredeemed" (who arrived in Tientsin from prison camps in Russia) and the sending of an expeditionary force to the Far East (1918/19);
- the 1920s: from the establishment in China of a battalion of sailors of the "St. Marco", to the local establishment of river companies up to air raids from Italy to Japan;
- the 1930s: from attempts to penetrate China commercially (with specific missions by the fascist government) up to the sending of a Battalion of the "Grenadiers of Savoy" at the time of the Sino-Japanese war (1937). The birth of Manchukuo;
- the 1940s: from Italy's entry into the Second World War up to the armistice of 1943 and then up to the conclusion of the conflict, with the restitution of the Tientsin Concession to China, on the basis of the Paris peace treaty of 1947.
An extensive bibliography concludes the volume.
