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.
