CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD
The stamps issued by the organizing and winner countries of football world championships
1930-2006

With the cooperation of Pierangelo Brivio

Preface by Maurizio Tecardi, past President of the Italian Union for Collectors of Olympic Games and Sport

Introductory essay by Danilo Bogoni

Half a century of development, names and results recorded by specialized philately written by Nino Barberis, international thematic judge

Interview to the collector Pierangelo Brivio

Devoted to Football World Championships, the volume lists, describes and reproduces the stamps issued by the countries which organized the event and by those which won it, including the issues by colonial territories and the items connected to the happening.
The work covers the history of Championships, from the first edition of 1930 to 2006, but there is something more: South Africa, as the host country of the event in 2010, started its promotional campaign through the postal system in 2006.
Completely in colours, the book follows the same layout and general organization as the volume "John Paul II - Visits of Hope". There are some opening pages and then one chapter for each Championship, with information and details on the event, and the reproduction and description of the stamps and souvenir sheets issued.
For every Championship, a peculiar aspect has been added in order to underline historical-political facts (the division between the Arab world and Israel), promotional choices (the French "Merci les bleus!") or technical aspects (the packets of Swedish stamps or British varieties), thus exploiting all the possibilities for deep and broad studies offered by philately.

The needs of football fans who are interested in more specific details for each happening have been considered: a journalistic presentation of main football facts, a series of data (teams, scores, winner team players), help in widening the picture obtained through postal issues.
The stamps have been reproduced full size (only some souvenir sheets have been reduced). To help collectors in their research, the numbering of the most important international catalogues have been included; (in alphabetical order) Michel, Scott, Unificato and Yvert & Tellier. There are no valuations.
Fabio Bonacina, a journalist, mainly works in public communication, but he also writes about stamps and the post. The newspapers and magazines that have published his articles include "Cronaca filatelica", "L'arte del francobollo", "Vaccari magazine", "Esperienza", "Giornale di Brescia", and "Italia oggi". He is President of the Italian Philatelic Press Union since 2014, and editor of the daily web magazine of philately and postal information "Vaccari news" (www.vaccarinews.it) since 2003.
He has been awarded the prize by Usfi (Italian Philatelic Press Union) in 2010, he has obtained the award for journalism by the Town of Riccione in 2006, and the oscar for philately by Circolo filatelico numismatico reggiano in 2002.
For this publisher he has written the books "Propaganda con i denti - Il francobollo come mezzo di comunicazione nelle relazioni internazionali, il secondo dopoguerra"; "La salma nascosta - Mussolini a Cerro Maggiore dopo piazzale Loreto (1946-1957)", published in two editions; "Giovanni Paolo II - Viaggi di speranza - I francobolli del mondo testimoniano le visite di Papa Wojtyla", translated into English and German (English edition "John Paul II - Visits of hope - World stamps witness the travels of Pope Wojtyla"); "Campioni del mondo - I francobolli dei Paesi organizzatori e vincitori dei Mondiali di calcio 1930-2006"; "Buon Natale! Il libro-album per la raccolta dei francobolli italiani sul Natale 1970-2010"; "Habemus Papam. Tutti i Papi da Francesco a Pio XII. Il libro-album dei francobolli italiani"; "Campioni del mondo 2 - I francobolli dei Paesi organizzatori e vincitori dei Mondiali di calcio 2010-2014".
