EDITORIAL
Vaccari Magazine n.68 - 2022

I never wanted to write and sign this editorial in my dad's place.
A long story, that of the Magazine, which could have continued but, by his will, ends here.
I thank personally and also on behalf of my dad (I know he would have done so) all of our writers, many of whom have collaborated with the magazine since the first issue in 1989; all the subscribers and readers who have been following and supporting us.
I thank those who believed in this forward-looking project and published their own advertisements.
I thank all the editorial staff, Francesca who started and Claudia who continued, the makers-up Katia and then Federica. And the typography that accompanied us from the beginning.
A great adventure dad, which I will miss a lot, especially because that was with you.
In this issue some pages are dedicated to him.

Many of the authors had already sent the material for next issue, because the full article would have been divided into several parts. I therefore thought it was right to create a special issue, last one, with more pages than those which characterize the other 67 magazines, to be able to accommodate everything received so far.

Unfortunately, some of the studies divided into many parts will not find a conclusion.
Giuseppe Buffagni, in this second part on the cancellations of the Este States, presents the offices of Camporgiano, Carpi, Carpineti and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana; Flavio Riccitelli reaches the nineteenth part with the regular postal service of the L.A.T.I. on the South Atlantic route developing Paraguay.

Lorenzo Carra, instead, comes to a point with the year 1866 and the end of the Lombardy Venetia Kingdom, in his analysis of relations with the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1815. Last part also for Giorgio De Signoribus, on the late use of the overprinted "P.M." of the first issue (11.9.1942) for civil correspondence in Italy, and for Marco Occhipinti who, with the correspondence of political internees, takes us to Belvedere Marittimo and Cerchiara di Calabria.

Among the new authors there are two long-standing collaborators who, however, are now signing their own contribution: Giacomo Bottacchi joins again, albeit ideally, an original strip of four of Sardinia cent.5 (issue 1.10.1853) after more than a century and a half; Mario Serone, together with Benjamin Bernstein and Massimiliano Ferroni, proposes a review of the most interesting colours of the first issue of Lombardy Venetia.
New are also Enrico Dallara, who analyses the signs of disinfection on letters from Genoa area and Alta Lunigiana according to the health rules of Parma post; Piergiorgio Lunati, who follows the construction of the Frejus tunnel and the contemporary use of the line mark "Tunnel Moncenisio"; Francesco Luraschi, who, with Luca Savini, tells us about when a postmark, the Milan circle with date and hour, becomes a state affair.

Rosalba Pigini offers us a brief report on "FilateliCa 2022". Fabio Bonacina retraces the evolution of mailboxes showing some curiosities. Carlo Giovanardi investigates between Fiume and Lucca starting from a small noun.
Emilio Simonazzi rediscovers a letter from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Duchy of Modena of which not only traces had been lost but few had been aware of it. Stefano Alessio proposes a funny, colourful and engaging, partly unusual, collection of Sardinia.
Marco De Biasi illustrates Belluno double circle cancellations with moustache; Heinrich Stumvoll the smallest postmark in Venice, the Roman capitals one in black and red.
Antonello Fumu passes through the port of Alexandria in Egypt departing for and arriving from the East Indies (1850-1871). Massimo Moritsch examines the treatment of Tuscan letters addressed to Alexandria in Egypt (1836-philatelic period), and, with Roberto Quondamatteo, letters with insufficient franking from the Papal State to the Kingdom of Italy (1.10.1867-31.10.1870).
Mario Mentaschi and Giovanni Nembrini study the rates for printed matter during the period of the Post General Union (1.7.1875-31.3.1879), and Gianluigi Maria Forti sea and land transports during the reigns of Carlo Alberto and Vittorio Emanuele II.

Signed by Paolo Vaccari, the opening column dedicated to the somewhat particular "items" of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, and two "first day" letters relevant to the Kingdom of Naples and the Naples Provinces.

EDITORIAL
Vaccari Magazine n.67 - 2022

A return to "Veronafil", after more than two years of isolation which prevented the event from taking place: it has always been a tradition that this six-monthly magazine, now at issue 67, was released in May and November precisely on the occasion of the Scaligera meeting.

And tradition has it that it opens with the column edited by me focused on some particularly interesting examples of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, therefore above all Ancient Italian states but also the Kingdom of Italy.
The magazine is specialized in traditional philately and postal history, but there are always articles focused on curiosities or current events, and Fabio Bonacina tells us about what has been happening for some months now in Ukraine, making a brief historical excursus thanks to the reading of postage stamps, thus addressing the subject from a philatelic point of view. Still in the present, a thorny issue for many collectors: the events related to the seizure of assets in the context of the protection of historical postal items; the conference held in Rome in January is intended to be a basis for effective collaboration between the public and private sectors to establish clear rules.
A valid link between present and past is the presentation, by Emilio Simonazzi, of the great collectors of the past, whose teachings still influence us today.

Some articles in several parts continue deepening different aspects or places: Lorenzo Carra, the "N.A." postmarks, the frontier zones, printed matters, newspapers ..., in the relations between Lombardy Venetia Kingdom and Kingdom of Sardinia, with the Sardinian-Austrian postal agreement restored from 15 May 1862; Marco Occhipinti, with the correspondence of political internees, after having toured the islands, some places on the mainland that were not so different from an island due to their characteristics; Flavio Riccitelli, with the regular postal service of the L.A.T.I. on the South Atlantic route, this time Bolivia.
Others begin to propose their studies: Giuseppe Buffagni, on the cancellation of the Este States, starting with the offices, in alphabetical order, of Aulla, Avenza, Brescello, Calice al Cornoviglio; Giorgio De Signoribus, on the late use of the overprinted "P.M." of the first issue (11.9.1942) for civil correspondence in Italy.

Heinrich Stumvoll follows the Kreuzer postage stamps used in Venice from 1850 to 1866 through his collecting experiences. Massimo Moritsch, Roberto Quondamatteo and Angelo Teruzzi go from the Papal State to the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1852 to 1867 with post-free mail and Tuscan transit.
Mario Mentaschi develops another problem concerning letter rates in Sicily from 1 January 1859: how were letters of more than two sheets weighing less than 1 ounce franked? Francesco Lombardo, also in Sicily in the years 1859-1860, analyzes the franking of the newspapers missing the postage stamps, with the impression, sometimes partial, of the horse-shoe.
Giovanni Nembrini traces the development of postal relations between Tuscany and France starting from 1 July 1851; Vittorio Morani proceeds along the routes between Tuscany and the Atlantic coast of South America between 1851 and 1879.
Gianluigi Maria Forti illustrates the postage stamps that witnessed the unification of Italy. Stefano Alessio gives us an example of organizational "efficiency" relating to the handling of a letter sent from Bologna to Reggio Emilia on 13 November 1961.
Carlo Giovanardi examines the 1 crown value of Fiume "allegories and views" issued at the beginning of 1919, with papers, perforation, overprints, ... Adalberto and Gabriele Peroni travel on the "Nuovo Colombo" steamer between Genoa and Leghorn in "Corso particolare"; Antonello Fumu sails from Tunis to Alexandria in Egypt in 1880, on two different routes.

Enjoy the reading!

FOR THE PROTECTION OF GATHERING, COLLECTING AND STUDYING EX PUBLIC POSTAL DOCUMENTS
With new findings updated April 2023

To supplement the Proceedings of the Conference in the Senate of January 2022 aimed at clarifying the situation relating to the legitimate possession of documents of possible historical-archival relevance of public provenance, here is a detailed work with examples of postal documents that have been discarded.

This Notebook aims at being a contribution to clarify the now well-known issue of the legality of possession for collecting purposes and the marketability of letters bearing an address referring to a Public Body. It is intended to be a sort of practical manual that summarizes and shows the various documents that laid the foundations for the realization of the Rome Conference.

The research work to document the perfect legality of the collection and study of ex-public postal documents by private collectors and scholars continues and allows for new interesting discoveries, mostly from the Italian Red Cross, found on a public market.

ITALIAN MUNICIPAL STAMPS
From their introduction to the end of 1881

Translation from the original text, published in France in 1883, about fiscal stamps issued by the Italian municipalities from 1865, the year of their introduction to collect taxes, to 1881.

Since the issue of fiscal stamps was not regulated by official decrees, there are not many official documents like decrees, notes addressed to the public, or handwritten regulations. The important pieces of information in this volume are, therefore, the result of research and analysis of documents such as letters and invoices of printers and engravers, and verbal reports by municipalities attendants.

The fiscal stamps are presented in alphabetical order and by region, following the subdivision of the Kingdom of Italy of the time (Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Venetias, Emilia, Marches, Umbria, Tuscany, Latium, Abruzzi and Molise, Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, Sardinia), with the reproduction and a technical-descriptive table. At the end of the volume there are two indexes, one in alphabetical order and the other divided by region.

POSTAL CENSORSHIP IN LOMBARDY

Violation of the secrecy of the mail has always been a very usual practice in any time and everywhere, not only towards state and diplomatic letters, understandable even though unjustifiable, but also towards civil and ecclesiastic mail. Everybody knew that, so people used codes and never wrote names or about important events.

This volume deals with the subject in Austrian Lombardy, then Lombardy-Venetia, in one century or a bit more when the Austrian dominated, including French interlude.

Most information comes from the State Archives in Milan.

DUCHY OF PARMA and PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
Collection of studies

The present monograph gathers a group of studies to offer a general, more comprehensive picture of the issues of Parma, starting with the first ones by the master of philately, Emilio Diena, and going on with those published since 1991 as articles in "Vaccari Magazine".

The volume is divided into two parts. In the first one, there is the reprint of the previous edition of 1989: translation from English of the article which was the subject of a lecture presented by Emilio Diena to the Royal Philatelic Society in 1930 on "Scudetto" issue of 1857-1859 of the Duchy of Parma, published in the September issue of the "London Philatelist", official organ of the "Royal"; and reprint from the original published in 1913 on Provisional Government postage stamps. Both studies are completed with the b/w tables illustrating the complete sheets and have preface by Enzo Diena.

In the second one, there are, illustrated in colour, the study presented in 2002 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Este postage stamps, which offers a short historical and philatelic introduction about the stamps of the Duchy of Parma and of the Provisional Government, with reference to all the issues and to postal rates; the article about cent.15 rose, first issue; that about cent.5, second issue; the study relevant to cent.40, third issue, with large and small zero; the one about the war of 1859 and the issue of the Provisional Government with reference to cent.80.
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).
He was a member of the "Club Elite de la Philatélie" of Monte Carlo, presided over by Prince Ranieri, a closed number club in which the 100 most important philatelic experts worldwide may take part, receiving the highest Monacan recognition each time, the Ranieri gold medal.
He is a member of the "Académie Européenne de Philatélie" with headquarters in Paris.
He was a member of the "Consulta per la filatelia del Ministero delle Comunicazioni".
He was named honorary partner of the prestigious "Associazione Italiana di Storia Postale" (A.I.S.P.) with headquarters in Milan, and of the "Accademia Italiana di Filatelia e Storia Postale" in 2009.
He is a member of the "Deputazione di Storia Patria per le Antiche Province Modenesi";
of numerous Italian and foreign philatelic associations;
of the "Accademia dello Scoltenna".
He is a member of the Philatelic Veterans Register since 1985.

THE AUSTRIAN POST IN ROME

The story of a post office in Rome, first Veneto, then Milanese and at the end Austrian depending on the different events from the Medieval times to the first decades of the XIX century, is really fascinating thanks to its diplomatic and historical-political implications. Many scholars have studied the subject from different points of view: legal, diplomatic, historical-political, postal; also the postmarks used in the short period from 1802 to 1809 have been analysed.

In this work the author has collected all the material known, with the addition of some documents which are really difficult to find and some from the State Archives in Milan.

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.

CONTENTS

* Last days of life
* The "show" in piazzale Loreto
* The problem of the corpse

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.

LAGERS OF LOSERS
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.

Catalogue of the photographic exhibition (25 April - 27 May 2007 - Vatican City) devoted to the life of popes, to the Vatican and the Eternal City, organised by the photo service of "L'Osservatore Romano".
For the first time on show a selection of the most beautiful and original images taken from an archive which contains millions of clicks from 1930.
The Director of the Photo Service, Don Giuseppe Colombara, explains that "the aim of the exhibition is to put on view a sample of this iconographic wealth, with no pretension to being excessively methodical or exhaustive. The exhibition is divided into five areas by subject (the portraits of the Pontiffs, the History, the gallery of John Paul II, the gallery of Benedict XVI, various and curious) to be viewed at leisure to find a moving image, a typical scene, a particular frame, a face, an expression… Captions offer schematic information, but you do not need to read them really as images speak by themselves."
