STAMPS AND POSTAL HISTORY OF TRIESTE, PULA, RIJEKA, ISTRIA AND THE SLOVENIAN COAST UNDER THE YUGOSLAVIAN MILITARY ADMINISTRATION
1945-1947

Extremely accurate philatelic and postal-historical study, based on Italian and Yugoslavian sources: the overprinted Italian postage stamps and stationery and the "Istra Littorale sloveno" occupation issues.

The most complete work on that dramatic period on the eastern Italian border, with postage stamps and postal history events that are rightfully part of Italian postal history.

This is the Italian translation of the volume published in English in 2009.

As far as valuations are concerned, the traditional prudence of this catalogue has given the possibility to touch down many figures. On the contrary, increases are recorded both for the less available pieces and for particularly popular sectors such as advertising items, and for the more modern part. And the same "indication" of the market, reasonably tended to rise, is put into practice for the first time for a sector such as the colonial one, especially the shipping slips of the '900, often unavailable but remained for too long at a 30 year ago valutations.

By Franco Filanci - Accademia Italiana di Filatelia e Storia postale.

This 3rd volume deals with the history of the postage stamps and of all the other Italian postal paper money of the period 1921-1943, introduced in light of the ideology, of the politics, of the news, of the wars and of the characters that have shaped them.

It is the history of the Fascist period seen through the postal services, the postmarks and the most diverse daily aspects of the communications of those years, from correspondence to telegrams up to television.

A history that includes a cataloguing of the paper money that composes it (including the postage stamps of the Air express of the Levant and of SCADTA), attentively introduced, documented and evaluated in its collectors' interest.

The narration is fluid, combined with an exhaustive regulatory documentation, for all those who wish to examine this historical period deeper, when mail was a central and fundamental element of society.

CONTENTS

* Guide lines, so to speak
* Coup d'etat Italian style 1921-1928

This 4th volume, devoted to Italy 1943 to 1948, starts from the Italian Armistice of 8 September 1943 and ends with the completion of the new Italian Republic with relevant Constitution, its first President and the big star as symbol.

A volume certainly demanding in the first part, where RSI, Italian Kingdom, Allies, German Forces act, chronologically, in simultaneity.

A new, fluid, captivating way of talking about postage stamps, postal stationery, postmarks etc. (and to evaluate them, also under unusual aspects) that makes its history engaging, intriguing, maybe a real incentive to convert overprint small bands, allied postage stamps, Imperial, CLN, Democratic and Risorgimento into new, personal collections.

The only catalogue with all the cancellations used in Italy up to 1865 has been greatly revised, with updates indicated by the best experts in the subject.

This edition presents point valuations (converted into quotations at the beginning of each chapter) for every cancellation used in the different pre-unity states starting from the pre-adhesive period just before the introduction of postage stamps to the use of "numeral" cancellations.

Moreover, all cancellations used in the Italian Territories of the Austrian Empire, in the Austrian Levant, in the offices abroad, and all French marks used to cancel postage stamps of the Italian area on mail travelled "Via Sea", the cancellations of Navigation on the great Italian Lakes, the use of French postage stamps in the offices of Civil Post in 1859 and 1860, maritime mail, the great Italian harbours.

Compared to the previous edition of 2015, the valuations of the prefilatelic cancellations have been gathered in a single chapter and two new ones have been added: one dedicated to the accessory cancellations; the other to the Third War of Independence (1866), with the listing and valuation of "Austrian" and "Italian" franking and their use in the post offices in Veneto and Friuli.

Over the years a lot of important collections have been examined as well as numerous submissions from collectors and lovers have been received.
That has allowed to update the over 75,000 pieces of data contained in this catalogue, which present about 7,000 variations compared with the previous edition. This amount may appear very high; however, one must keep in mind that this sector of cancellations, since the publishing of the Ricci - Vaccari edition of 1992, has kept expanding among the collectors and consequently the research has grown more and more, leading to the discovery of material which had been neglected for years.

In this edition, the historical section has been revised as well and is now totally in colour, even if it has not been necessary to change the text in its substance. The illustration section has been completely changed so that it will be easier to recognize the type of the nominal cancellations which went together with the numeral ones, thanks to the colour pictures.

Bibliography
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.

To make search easier, besides the numbering already existing, new progressive numbers have been added (from no.1 to 4.089). They have been inserted, in cameo, in every page of the catalogue, next to the previous numbering relevant to the year of the event, in every black and white photograph, in the colour tables and in the list of valuations in euro enclosed.

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.

The catalogue presents Kingdom of Italy from 1901, Italian Social Republic, Regency, Air Mail and Advertising. As to Air Mail, there are not the specific issues for first flights, special flights, cruises, air express, any possible combination.

Chronological history of Zeppelin mail of the Italian area flown on Graf Zeppelin, Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin II airships, including rates.

This catalogue deals, in great detail, with Zeppelin mail of Italy, Italian colonies, San Marino and Vatican from 1929 to 1939. This list only refers to flown items for which it has been possible to assess their existence. Other mails, whose existence has not been verified yet, although mentioned in other sources, have been omitted. Items which are not genuine or fakes have been frequently mentioned, instead.
In this catalogue Zeppelin airmail stamps have been excluded, as they have already been described in philatelic catalogues.

The recording, given in chronological order, enables to trace a catalogued Zeppelin mail simply by referring to the page related to the airship's name, the year and, thus, the flight number, from which month and day of that particular flight are evident.
The flights numbering used in this work is that reported in the official original records of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin / Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei. The use of this numbering avoids arbitrary misleading information, instead providing a reference form among collectors, dealers and aviation historians.

Dieter Leder: "Zeppelin mail experts and sophisticated collectors worked together and shared their knowledge, information and covers to make this catalogue the most comprehensive data base for Zeppelin mail from Italy and its connected areas."

GENERAL CATALOGUE OF AIR MAIL IN ITALY
1941-2015

This catalogue starts with the first mail in the world carried by a jet flight (Campini-Caproni 1941), it continues with the first world mail at supersonic speed (Istrana-Pratica di Mare 1973 and Aviano-Trapani Birgi 1976) and ends with the first mail in the world carried by a drone (Rome EURO, Alfredo Berra Stadium 2014); all Italian aerophilatelic records.

From a postal-historic point of view, the author has tried to underline the most significant aspects that aerophilately itself contains: such as the study of air mail rates in force from the end of WWII up to the present days, the use of postage stamps and the various franking so called rare, the examination of the various postmarking of departure and of arrival, or in transit.

Precise references are included too regarding all the helps and the connections that the Italian Military Air Force has always given and keep on giving, both by a substantial support of pilots, means, technologies and aircrafts granted to the new postwar airline aviation; both, later, when the Italian Air Force has become active protagonist in the aerophilatelic field, by means of a long series of mail flight and air couriers aimed to celebrate the most significant milestones of its history and the most relevant aeronautic events.

From the first edition in 1991 to today, this catalogue has contributed to play the attention and the interest of a wider number of collectors and lovers of aviation on aerophilately.

CATALOGUE OF ITALIAN SPECIAL POSTMARKS 1961-1962

Series of studies about postmarks n.12 of A.N.C.A.I. (the Italian national association for collectors of Italian postmarks).

This volume about the years 1961-62 ends the cataloguing of the Italian special postmarks, endeavour that has committed ANCAI for over forty years.
The period up to the beginning of '60ies takes on a great interest and charm, both for the demonstrations it refers to and because the separate services at those times were out-and-out postal offices, as a consequence the material worked is very peculiar.
The author has prepared the present work in spite of the evident difficulties: you only have to remember that press releases of temporary services did not exist at those times and that the complete destruction of the archives makes any research by the Offices of Italian Post impossible. This volume has come full circle, allowing ANCAI to get the credit for the complete treatise of the special postmarks of the whole Italian Postal History.

AEROFILIA ITALIANA 1884-1920
From the Pioneers of Aviation to the "Aces" of the Great War
CATALOGUE OF AIR FORCE POSTMARKS
Pioneering period, Italian-Turkish Conflict, First World War

The historical descriptive catalogue of Italian air force postmarks, with the foreword by Roberto Gentilli, aircraft historian.

In the centenary of Italy's entry into World War I, in 2015, a comprehensive study about all the known (at the moment) postmarks used by the different aviation units (1,423 postmarks listed, from forerunners to the end of World War I), with their rarity point evaluations, based on the frequency of each postmark, of its colour, and of the possible military postmark impressed on the item in question.

Within the Italian-Turkish Conflict, the leaflets in Arab language are listed, for the first time, with their translation into Italian, in addition to the messages dropped from airships to the Italian troops. They add an unreleased element to the history of aviation seen by an aerophilatelist and from the point of view of the history of military mail.

Much interest is given by the little known news about the presence of the Italian aviation units in Albania, Macedonia, Dalmatia, France, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania and of the allied aviation forces of France and Great Britain in Italy during World War I.

Each chapter is introduced by the history of aviation relevant to each period in question (forerunners, Italian-Turkish Conflict and World War I), from balloonists to airship crew members, to the aviators of the Italian Royal Army and of the Italian Royal Navy, and by the relocation of the units, within the historical period examined. That means a chronological history of the Italian military aviation and of the postmarks used from 1884 to 1920, from the pioneering period to the end of World War I (including the two following years for those units that were not disbanded immediately after the Armistice).

Bibliography
From the FOREWORD by Roberto Gentilli, aircraft historian

A current word in the academic field, interdisciplinarity means, according to the official definition, the net of relationships of complementarity, integration and interaction thanks to which different disciplines converge in common principles, tending to approach and unify the isolated parts and the fragmentary moments of the present specialized knowledge.
Fiorenzo Longhi, through his works, [...], has been able to lay a bridge of interdisciplinarity between philately and aeronautic historiography.

"Aerofilia" receives a series of fundamental points from military historiography: the deployment of divisions, news about the airplanes used [...] But, in turn, it offers much more, a series of documents that give confirmation of dates, places, people not by means of statistical summaries or reports, but through living, authentic documents, with dates and places certified by postmarks. [...]

Moreover, research in this volume is so accurate to go beyond the simple confirmation; it brings incontrovertible proof of presence, relocation, time, elements which had escaped aeronautic researchers' attention, thus creating problems and uncertainty, but also new fascinating perspectives.

Interdisciplinarity generated by different passions, but also by a common respect for accurate research and commitment for the preservation of historical memories, enriches us, in the hope that care given to every envelope, to every leaflet thrown from an airplane, to every newspaper sent via air mail, is diffused and of help in order to avoid the small tragedies that occur every time that young people throw their grandfather's old papers into a garbage bin.

But there is a last point that I wish to stress. In the Centenary of the Great War, commemorated even by Italy, a country unfocused, like just a few others, on its own history, the aeronautic historians who discover the world of "aerofilia" are brought back to the human aspect of the conflict.
It is not only a matter of airplanes, of kilos of bombs thrown, of identification numbers or of claiming of shooting down, the objects that its research tends to be restricted to, but of men. [...]

The value of research of "aerofilia", therefore, is not only the corroboration offered to the historical research, but the human dimension it enriches that of, and for which we thank Fiorenzo Longhi.

******************************
From the PREFACE by Fiorenzo Longhi

Different from what, already long ago, has been fulfilled in other countries and in spite of the historical interest of the connected events, a systematic study of the special postmarks impressed on mail and on official documents of the air force units has never been undertaken in Italy.
[...]

The air force handstamps are of various kind, generally in gum and impressed in violet ink.
More rarely in other colours (blue, red, green) or black.
The postmarks used on mail are sometimes the same as those impressed on the usual exchange of documents within the unit.
Other postmarks, instead, lead us to believe that Aviation units had an autonomous form of censorship [...]

The air force postmarks were impressed on mail just to complete, in a rapid, easy and clear way, the indication of the sender, but this kind of completion could have been done also manually.
Not only: even official documents usually lack of the air force or commander postmarks.
It is therefore probable that precise rules had not been dictated, by the supreme authorities, military or of the State, regarding types, sizes, or text, leaving every commander free to choose, and, very likely, the use of special postmarks on mail has been much less frequent in some units than in others.

Adding to all these considerations the long time passed, the fact that only a minimal part of the correspondence is generally kept and that the interest by Italian collectors in this field has always been rather lacking, we can be almost certain that the possibility of the integral completing of the postmarks of all the air force units of the Italian Royal Army and of the Italian Royal Navy [...] has to be considered, if not impossible, highly uncertain.

As regards the historical events of the units of Navy, Airship crew members and Balloonists, I had to draw hardly from various sources, sometimes contrasting, and so I decided to privilege only those few official documents that I have had the luck to trace in private and public archives.
Fiorenzo Longhi was born in Milan in 1938 and lives by Lake Maggiore.
After obtaining the scientific A levels, he graduates in Economics and Business at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1966 and works as director in an engineering company for twenty years.
Since his childhood, he cultivates the hobby of philately and history, and afterwards he passes to the study of postal history in little known fields such as the first issues of the Ottoman Empire and of Ecuador, Italian air mail and the flights of Italian pilots abroad, creating, in the course of years, some important collections and one of the most complete libraries of philately, postal history and aeronautic history.
He is awarded the maximum rewards in the National and World competitive philatelic exhibitions (6 Large Gold Medals and numerous Grand Prix from 1976 to 1978).
Since 1979, he exhibits only in the Honour Class or upon invitation in National and International exhibitions.
He publishes numerous articles, chapters in specialized books, one book and two catalogues, always dealing with little known or unreleased subjects relevant to postal history and aeronautic history.
He is enrolled in the National Register of Philatelic Jury Members since 1982 and he is an International Philatelic Jury Member.
He is enrolled in the Golden Register of Italian Philately since 1979; since 1995, in the Register of Expert Witnesses of the Court in Verbania for Philately; since 1996, in the Philately Category, in the Expert Role of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Crafts and Agriculture in Verbano Cusio Ossola.
He is Life Member of the American Air Mail Society and member of the following Italian and foreign associations: A.I.E.P.

THE NEW GAGGERO
Catalogue of squared circle postmarks of the Kingdom of Italy 2016

This second edition of the catalogue introduces numerous changes compared to the first one, brilliantly edited by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi.
It is not a simple update of the squared circle postmarks of the Kingdom of Italy (1890-1920), though it includes more than 1,200 new findings (now 8,204 postmarks are included in the catalogue): for example, it highlights all the postmarks seen and known for sure up to now, accompanying them with the first and the last year of use known; it shows, in consideration of the particular type of mark, the separation of the writing of the upper crown and of the lower crown, allowing a precise identification; more than 20 pages of introduction with historical details, the origin, philatelic background, criteria of evaluations, shapes and typology of postmarks, point valuations.

The catalogue is divided by region and in alphabetical order by province. Moreover, it is accompanied by a very useful index of places with the relevant number of catalogue and province initials.

It collects more than fifty years of researches by scholars, who have gathered a huge amount of data and who have made it available with great sensibility and collaboration.

In the third and fourth part, the catalogue introduces, with hundreds of reproductions, the history and the imaging evolution of brands as protection of copyright together with the one of record companies and of their labels, giving to collectors an additional important support to identify original productions.

CATALOGUE - ITALIAN ILLUSTRATED STATIONARY POSTCARD
The forerunners from 1868 to 1898

The catalogue collects more than 1,100 examples of postcards produced or travelled in the period 1868-1898, reproduced full size, many of them front and back. They are illustrated stationery postcards, which bear from a simple decoration or frame to more lithographic or photographic images, or even hand paintings or drawings in the absence of printed postcards.

The first copies, introduced before the birth of the official "postal stationery" postcard issued by the State, were private editions from commercial activities that used this means of communication at a reduced rate to send commercial news.
Among the economic activities, accommodation facilities (hotels, lodges and restaurants) stood out; they covered the entire national territory and, in addition to their activity, indirectly advertised the tourist resorts. The landscape postcard, also known as "Gruss", was developed above all in tourist resorts, as a souvenir to be sent by post.
The forerunners also include greeting cards, used for year-end greetings or for special events.

The official postal card with overprinted stamp, known as "postal stationery", was introduced for the first time in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1869; in Italy in 1874.
In 1885 the Empire allowed the private postal card the reduced rate, until then only allowed for the "postal stationery" official postcard.
With a decree dated 20 June 1889, Italy also authorized the use of private postcards at a reduced rate, which however had to be of the same size as the official ones, 110x70 mm.
In 1893 the size of the state postcard became 140x90 mm, so private postcards also adapted to the new dimensions.

Commercial postcards benefited from a reduced rate of 2 cents and had no size constraints; however, they had to contain only commercial news. They had a great development due to their simplicity, comfort and economy.

THE POST OF ITALIAN MILITARY MISSIONS ABROAD
FROM 1950 TO 2022
Classification and evaluation

Published by CIFO - Association of Italian collectors of ordinary postage stamps

New edition that resumes and updates the catalogue on military missions abroad of 2013, starting from the n.1 Afis in Somalia of 1950, up to n.164 of Air Policing for the surveillance of the NATO airspace of June 2022.

One of the novelties is the introduction of three further groupings of missions, with unusual and interesting material: the Hippocampus operations, for the repatriation of compatriots, the Humanitarian missions and the Scientific ones.

The introduction illustrates the various types of postal historical material that can be collected, also taking into consideration mail that has not travelled, that which has been created retrospectively, that which is almost industrially produced in equal multiples and also other types of objects connected with mail, such as, for example, commemorative postcards, philatelic souvenirs, documents,...

The work develops by listing the missions in chronological order with explanatory cards containing the technical data and showing correspondence, postcards, newspapers, flyers, the most significant postal and administrative postmarks, the official gullers when there is a dedicated Military Post Office.

It is the result of a group work: Ruben Berta, Roberto Cruciani, Claudio Ernesto Manzati, Domenico Matera, Ernesto Vassallo.
