Letters sent by soldiers to their parents or wives provide us with an insight into their lives.
We learn how both common soldiers and high-ranking officers continuously travelled the roads, as long as the fighting continued, looking for basic essentials, such as something to eat or a place to sleep.
The author has focused on the highly original theme of mail sent by the second Grande Armée, which was created for the Russian campaign.
This period was characterised by increasing difficulties affecting the organisation of postal services and losses suffered by the serviceman responsible for carrying mail who were hounded by the Cossacks.
The study concludes with an exhaustive list of all the postmarks used by the 2nd Grande Armée.

Italian text
ALSO AS FREE BOOK (class B)
Italian military peace missions abroad (Palestine, ex Yugoslavia, Iraq, Albania, Somalia, Mozambique) have been, in Italian recent history, one of the best expressions of the civilization, culture and humanity of Italian people. Whenever troops leave their homeland under Italian tricolour, supported by the flag of the United Nations, there are always great problems in the communication between the troops on mission and their country.
The present work tells the postal historical happenings of Italian peace contingents, describing first the political situation within which the missions originated, then analysing their postal aspects between 1991 (end of Gulf War) and 1995 (start of the expedition to Bosnia), concluding with many technical tables dedicated to each expedition. Texts by the following authors: Brunello Bellucci, Nadir Castagneri, Vittorio Crosa, Roberto Cruciani, Giovanni Riggi from Numana, Alberto Scuffia, G. Battista Trovero.

THE REDSHIRTSIN THE BALKAN WAR
CAMPAIGN IN EPIRUS 1912
With the cooperation of Annita Garibaldi Jallet and of the Museum of Villa Garibaldi in Riofreddo (Rome).
Many thanks to the National Committee for Celebrations of the Bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi's birth.
Foreword by Annita Garibaldi Jallet.
Garibaldis and their topicality, conversation with Annita Garibaldi Jallet by Fabio Bonacina.
Introduction by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi.
On the occasion of the birth bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the "hero of the two worlds", a volume written by his son, Ricciotti Garibaldi. New edition of the work published in 1915, in which the author describes the military background and the participation of the Italian volunteers under his command in the first Balkan war in Greece.
It was in the operations towards Ioannina that Ricciotti's "redshirts" took part, and particularly in the battle in Drisko (small town in the area). Subject of the volume the antecedent facts, the battle in Drisko, the following events, the epilogue, that is the adventure of "redshirts" in Epirus in 1912. Moreover, a whole chapter is devoted to the Italian Red Cross, who accompanied and assisted the Redshirts with their precious work, with the help of the Greek Blue Cross too. Constance Garibaldi, Ricciotti's wife, and Inspector of the Red Cross, in a long letter tells about some particularly touching episodes.
The author, who led the campaign, and is therefore also protagonist of the story, writes in the first person a mix between an account and memoirs, quite a technical report accompanied by many documents which testify the happenings told (one of the reasons which led the editor to publish a new edition of the work). There is the romantic myth of Hellenism; the civilian myth of the volunteer "redshirts"; comments on the volunteer troops; the sense of comradeship but also of boldness.
Thanks to this volume, readers can now realize what kind of war it was, the extent of armed forces and fire, but also the "spirit" of that campaign. A picture of an event which remained in Italian memory.

Ricciotti was born in Montevideo in 1847, fourth born of Giuseppe Garibaldi and Ana Maria de Jesus Ribeiro.
From 1866 he distinguishes himself on the battlefields. When his father dies, in 1882, he wants to collect his moral heritage, the values of military voluntary service and of philhellenism which belonged to Garibaldian tradition. It is Greece which gives him the possibility to revive the tradition of Garibaldi's "Redshirts", already from 1897. The General Ricciotti succeeds in realising his true inclination: at the head of new Garibaldian volunteers, he creates a new military tradition, which intervenes in favour of peoples' freedom, and pays attention to the values of heroism and sacrifice in the name of a nation.
He dies in Riofreddo (Rome) in 1924.

From Cerro Maggiore to Predappio: Benito Mussolini's last "journey"
Where did Benito Mussolini's corpse disappear after Piazzale Loreto?
For eleven years the Italian Republic kept it hidden from enemies and Neofascists, using the monastery of Capuchin friars in Cerro Maggiore (Milan).
The author, Fabio Bonacina, carried on a useful investigation to follow the events through documents and several testimonies from people who lived those years as protagonists or simple witnesses, and through the many postcards with the images relevant to those events.

IN ITALIAN
Il saggio di Fabio Bonacina narra le vicende della salma di un uomo, per vent'anni al centro della storia d'Italia, che giunse, dopo le drammatiche vicende di Giulino e di piazzale Loreto, in un piccolo e, diciamolo pure, sconosciuto ai più, paese della provincia milanese.
Il libro è già alla sua seconda edizione a dimostrazione che le vicende narrate hanno suscitato un interesse che ha travalicato i confini locali.
Le recensioni alla prima edizione hanno trovato spazio sui media nazionali e il saggio è stato citato nella bibliografia di altri lavori. Un esemplare del libro è conservato alla Biblioteca del Congresso degli Stati Uniti. Persino una pièce teatrale si è ispirata alle vicende narrate nel libro.
In effetti la ricerca ha il pregio di aver colmato un vuoto storico e a oggi rimane l'unico testo che ricostruisce in maniera esemplare e minuziosa le vicende della «Salma nascosta».
Esso è quindi strumento indispensabile allo studioso, ma la sua lettura è di sicuro interesse anche al semplice appassionato di storia che avrà modo di conoscere una vicenda che a tratti assume i contorni di un giallo.
Ormai i protagonisti di quegli anni sono quasi tutti scomparsi. Nel suo piccolo, come uno scrigno, questo lavoro raccoglie frammenti di vita di uomini semplici, come il fotografo Igino Braghin o la balia Enrichetta Rotondi. Uomini e donne che non recitarono sul palcoscenico della storia, ma più semplicemente nella quotidianità delle loro famiglie e del loro paese. Ricordarli è un doveroso atto di affetto della nostra Comunità. Ecco perché questo non è solo il libro della salma di Mussolini, ma anche il loro.

Mainly based on the sources of the collection of the authors, this study sketches a complete historical and postal historical general picture of the postage stamps of Fezzan.
"Fezzan is only a little piece of "our" Africa, a negligible territory of the Sahara desert, but still a territory of the Italian colony of Libya. The charm of the collections "of war" led me inevitably to collect and study the postage stamps of Italian colonies and, as soon as my specialization made me dedicate to the events, the adventurous story of the French conquest of Fezzan appeared. I found out a particular fact: postage stamps and postal documents were different from the others in that they were the only ones to testify Italian presence. Fezzan was in fact the only foreign occupation of Italian Africa that continued to use Italian postage stamps, documents and postal labels."

The first world war is at its end. On 3/11/1918 Italy and Austria subscribe a Peace Treaty, which will be signed only on 10/9/1919. In Bolzano and Upper Adige reigns a situation of uncertainty about the destiny of the occupied territory, which influences also the postal service.
The forwarding of mail during these months is really difficult for the authorities in charge, above all when letters are not franked or only partly franked. On the one hand, the territory is under Italian occupation – therefore forced to use Italian postage due labels; on the other hand, these labels, even overprinted, are completely lacking, at least up to the first days of March 1919. This situation compels the Main Post Office in Trent to authorize, with two circulars, Upper Adige post offices to transform, whenever necessary, the postage stamps into provisional postage due labels through hand-stamp or overprint. Each office has the possibility to take its own measures.

Postal history outline of concetration camps for RSI soldiers
Historical and postal-historical information
The author leads us through a real minefield, the RSI field post, touching the zone regarding tens of thousands of young people who, between 1943 and 1945, followed the call-up of the Italian Republican National Government. These were nearly soldiers "of fortune" who received the official recognition of the status of servicemen by the Allies; however, once imprisoned in the concentration camps, they were not treated on the bases of the Geneva Convention, not even as to permission to correspond. Jannaci has individuated more than 110 detention places for soldiers of the Italian National Republican Army, from Oltano to the prisons such as Forte Boccea, to the extermination camps created in Yugoslavia.
The present second edition, with the support of the Association for the Families of RSI Fallen and Missing Men, has been updated with descriptions of camps and information unknown at the time of the first edition; additions have been included in the bibliography and new images never published before have been added.
