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.
