I PAAR DI PARRE
Protagonisti delle Poste in Europa con i Tasso del Cornello (XVI-XIX sec.)

256 pp. - colour and b/w ill. - softbound - printed 2023
Italian text
Protagonists of the Post in Europe with the Tassos from Cornello (16th-19th centuries)
This publication provides a first general picture, quite detailed and reliable, of the events of the Paar family over the course of four centuries, also contributing to making known an important aspect of Parre's history in the context of European events.
The first part takes into consideration the origins of the family and the documents from the mid-fifteenth century relating to the events of the Belleboni merchants, who later, far from their homeland, will be identified with the name of their town of origin. This section outlines in particular the figures of Mondino and his sons who occupied an important role in the economic, social and administrative life of Parre.
It was Mondino and his sons who, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, passed into the service of the Habsburgs, initially relying on the activity of the Tasso family, already present for a few decades in the territories of the Empire.
The second part of the volume is instead dedicated to the birth and development of the Paar's entrepreneurial activity in the postal sector; following the stages of the family's rise and outlining the figures of the protagonists, committed to organizing the postal service in a widespread manner in the areas assigned to them, extending and diversifying their skills and acquiring profits, privileges and noble titles at the same time.
The third and final part of the volume is dedicated to the age-old controversy that pitted the Paar against the Thurn und Taxis regarding the identification of the territories of respective competence in the management of the Empire's Post. A dispute that lasted from the beginning of the seventeenth century until almost the end of the eighteenth century between mutual complaints, appeals, mediations, imperial pronouncements and attempts at agreement which essentially did not lead to a definitive settlement of the issue.
The volume is completed by a substantial iconographic set and the detailed genealogy of the family.

VOL.VI - THE "PIEDMONTESE NATION" POSTMARKS (1800-1802)
Second part
The departure postmarks used by Piedmont post offices since the middle of the year 1800, prepared for as many as 102 post offices existing at the time. The offices covered in the first part were 50; in this second part the remaining ones, again in order of first use of the relative mark.
The authors were able to detect unknown postmarks and dates that anticipated or extended the period of use that appeared in Vollmeier's great work.
Considering the places where the High Police Courts were established, namely Turin, Ivrea, Mondovì, Asti, Alessandria, Vercelli, it was possible to establish that the post offices of these localities were the first to receive the departure postmarks of the "Piedmontese nation".
An element that positively characterized the postal service in the Kingdom of France was the use of postmarks, which allowed clerks to apply the correct rates and recipients to know the place from which the letter had left. With the second French invasion in 1800, postal customs from across the Alps made their way into occupied Piedmont. The postal clerks had already noticed the presence of the postmarks on correspondence from France and understood their usefulness. They also knew that this use would sooner or later also be introduced in the Piedmont offices and, while awaiting these postmarks, they were precursors, since they added the name of the departure place by hand.
With the annexation of Piedmont to the French Republic, the Sardinian postal service was also Frenchised and the Paris Post Administration Office sent the new departmental marks, characterized by the department number, to the most important post offices in Piedmont. They replaced the postmarks of the "Piedmontese nation".

Preface by Gianfranco Jannuzzo
Historical introduction by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi
The «sfizi di posta», in this volume 30 never published before, are "pieces" that are streamlined, short, immediate, and above all curious, fun, intriguing.
Anecdotes and stories told using letters, postcards, telegrams, observing their postage, postmarks of departure, arrival, transit and postal censorship and investigating the various underlying worlds. In a sequence of postal documents, chosen in a time span ranging from 1820 to 1949, we encounter stories of marriages of the past, natural disasters, village squabbles, the tragedy of two wars, Silvio Pellico, Umberto Nobile, Cesare Pavese.
Men and women in their public or private lives, actors in small and large events that have fuelled history, crystallized in postal memories, brought to life for the time of a brief reading.
For some 'sfizi' the reader will find a box entitled "The eye of the graphologist" in which Mirka Mantoan, Criminalist expert in Forensic Sciences, specialized in expert-judicial Graphology, Expert and Consultant Graphologist registered with the Civil and Criminal Court of Verona, will delve into the graphological aspects of the cursive text of some writings in order to trace the character profile of the protagonists.

LEONI SERIESStudy of print runs
This volume deals with the method of printing "typographic" postage stamps with royal effigy, starting from the first series of the Kingdom, up to the dawn of rotogravure printing, in particular the Leoni series.
Relevance was given to the plate numbers, through which the chronological reconstruction of the different print runs that followed one another in approximately a quarter of a century becomes possible.
Research conducted with a scientific method and adequately in-depth allows us to compare the results and verify the validity of the hypotheses made following the analysis of large quantities of specimens and historical sources.
The aim is to collect, in a single text, as much information as possible on the topic of Italian typographic postage stamps and, at the same time, make readers participate in this research, show the new evidence found and provide tools and methods to those who wish to undertake or deepen the study of this branch of philately.

Because of its unique location, Egypt has historically been the crossing point of trading and mail routes. Its sea costs stretch a distance of 2.900 km, 1.931 km of which overlook the Red Sea shores and the rest of the Mediterranean. This direct access by sea to both the Est and West, along with the centrality of its location, gave the control of Egypt immense strategic importance.
The author not only names and lists documents, many of which are highly rare, but also places us in the historical context.
His perfect mastery of the various languages in which the Egyptian archive documents have been preserved, enables us to immerse ourselves in the vision of the Egyptians when they were faced with the all-powerful European society during the 19th century. As a result, the shipping companies responsible for transporting mail suffered ups and downs due to the political context and power struggles.
More than a publication about sea mail, this history book takes us back to Egypt during the time of the viceroys and the 19th century, at a time when the Western world is showing a growing interest in rediscovering the traces of an ancient civilisation.

The essays of the Historical Museum of Communication
From the archives of the Historical Museum of Communication in Rome, a "treasure" of approximately 1,700 essays for postage stamps never materialized or sometimes "crystallized" at an earlier stage than they would have arrived at the post office counters. Items that have only partially, so far, been published in any specialist article.
Now they are collected, all together, in the book created by the Museum itself in collaboration with the Italian Philatelic Press Union.
The image of each item is proposed, associated with the title, summary description, main thematic categories, author, measures, inventory code attributed by the Museum.
There are numerous specialists, famous and otherwise, who in almost one century, from 1922 to 2000, have tried their hand at this communication method. Their works tell the story of the past, from great characters to battles, from artistic expressions to monuments. But they also document their present, such as institutional and political aspects, sporting events, the post-war recovery effort, European construction, campaigns against smoking and drugs, the protection of nature, road accidents...
Thus we discover the alternatives set aside, titles hypothesized and never realised. In short, a... behind the scenes that brings the reader closer to a fascinating sector, rich in cultural ideas that deserves to be valorised.

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.

DUCHY OF PARMA and PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENTCollection 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.

Italian text
The most fanciful postmarks of the world, the extraordinary "flattering" cancellations of the Kingdom of Naples have always been appreciated by Italian and foreign collectors. The present notes aim at resuming and, whenever possible, revising what has been so far published by the many experts, first of all Emilio Diena, the author's father.
This monograph, in addition to an introduction on the author, deals with the subject in the following chapters:
1 - origins of flattering cancellations;
2 - how many of them are known and where they were used;
3 - subdivision into six groups of six types each and their distribution;
4 - period of use;
5 - localities in which they were used;
6 - postage stamps on which they were used - some of the best known rarities - short notes on mixed franking;
7 - colours used for the impressions - attempts at identifying their origin even without the nominal postmark - postal frauds;
8 - in what types and colours the nominal postmarks were combined with the flattering cancellations;
9 - evaluation criteria for letters with postage stamps cancelled with flattering postmarks;
10 - evaluations of flattering cancellations on pieces or loose stamps.

Reprint from the original "scientific treaty" about the postage stamps of Modena, published in 1894 by the Master of Italian philately, Emilio Diena.
Detailed study, based not only on decrees and postal regulations, but also on the analysis of official correspondence and administrative records, hundreds of letters and newspapers bearing Modena postage and fiscal stamps, the present monograph is still a valid reference work, essential for the ones who know only a little about the Duchy of Modena and an interesting work for the ones who love it.
To enrich the volume, three heliotypy and four zincography tables.

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.

The strategic need to protect the routes between the southern possessions, Kingdom of Naples and Kingdom of Sicily, and the coasts of Genoa and of the North, as much as the harbours to the Kingdom of Sardinia, led Spain to curve out a sort of enclave geographically corresponding to the promontory of Argentario. The military strategy was the one of the so called Presidios, already tested almost half a century before in North Africa, and consisting of the imposition of strongholds and garrisons in the territory to be controlled.

Postal History Notebooks n.36, 2023
Critical presentation of 158 letters, all of them transcribed, exchanged between twelve members of the Tasso / de Tassis postal family and Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, a central figure in the service of the Imperial and Spanish monarchy of his time, organizer of information services and profound connoisseur of the mechanisms of imperial administration.
The letters were exchanged between 1541 and 1564, i.e. when the new great European postal revolution had consolidated, above all thanks to the members of the Tasso family: the echoes of this are reflected in the texts, together with the different aspects of the personality of the different actors, their lives and aspirations, as well as the politics, diplomacy, history and culture of the time.
The volume also contains the transcription criteria, the description of the manuscripts, the list of letters published in tables showing the archival signature, the city of departure, the date, the sender and the recipient, the language in which the letter was written.
From the point of view of Italian philology, these letters are of great importance: written by their own hand, the letters of the Tassis constitute a linguistic corpus of great intensity. They are in fact written in an Italian contaminated with other languages by uneducated people, who write with uncertainty, almost phonetically, with a local lexicon and an insecure and fluctuating handwriting.
Given the linguistic singularity, the criteria of this publication are conservative in order to preserve the language of a particular social group.

From Cornello to Europe
The volume intends to make available to readers a manual able to provide a general picture of Tasso history and to give an immediate comparison between descendants and characters, reserving a wider framework to the great Literati Bernardo and his son Torquato.
In the various chapters, events that develop along 500 years are summarized; a synthetic overview of the complex organization of postal networks that effect most of the European countries from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth century, in Germany to the second half of Eighteenth century.

The work is the result of an agreement between the Tasso Museum and the Institute for European History and Ethnology of Innsbruck University, aimed at carrying out research and studies on the Tyrolean branches of the Tasso family.
The Post, which is the subject here, developed from the period between the 16th and 17th centuries into what is the subject of this analysis, that is from a state body into an institution placed at the service of the community: "The transition from feudal fragmentation to the concentration of economy and social life in the capitalist era" would be what made the Post office necessary, at least according to a formulation conceived around 1920. More recent works emphasize aspects such as speed ("engine of modernity"), reliability and convenience, innovation and, last but not least, the informative effect that receiving news regularly had on the literate élite.
The project "Tasso and Europe" has allowed to start research on the various sectors of the entrepreneurial activity of the Tasso carried out in the archives of Innsbruck, Regensburg, Füssen, Brussels, Lille, Besançon, Madrid, Simancas, Milan, Venice, Rome, Trento, Palermo, Mantua and Bergamo and then to print a series of studies dedicated to this complex house of mail masters, arriving to outline a very detailed panorama that sweeps across almost all the areas that were the scene of postal communications organized by the Tasso.
With the publication of this work, the cycle of studies on the Tasso family, promoted in 2012, ends.

The book recreates the postal and human adventure of the Tasso family in the State of Milan during the Spanish domination.
The work investigates how the history of the Milanese branch of the Tasso's postal company is intertwined with the political, institutional and social requirements of the Duchy of Milan, of the Spanish Crown and of the Italian and European contexts existing in the 94 years examined.
This is accompanied by the genealogical history of the family. The author reconstructs the biographic history of the family components, with their conflicts and their relationships with institutions and with the territory.

The Taxis Bordogna family and postal communications in the area of Trento and Bolzano (XVI-XVIII centuries)
The history of Post in Trentino in modern times is part of the much wider overview of European and non-European postal connections that, between centuries XV and XVI, started being set up in a more and more rational and extensive way. Absolute protagonists of the work of organization and of material-economic management of international Post were the various branches of the Taxis family, native of Cornello, in Val Brembana of Bergamo.
One of these branches, the House of Taxis Bordogna, controlled from XVI to XVIII century the postal stations along the course of the Adige river of Trento and Bolzano, with the relevant in-between stations.
This volume is composed of two parts.
The first one, mainly organized in chronological order, is devoted to the history of the family and of the postal fief:
the birth of the Taxis Bordogna branch, the beginning of its administration of Trento Post, the acquisition of new postal stations in the second half of XVI century and the loss of some of them in the subsequent century; the significant managing of the postal enterprise, during the XVII century, by the sole woman that succeeded in getting the investiture as master of post and not simply as subsidiary tutor; up to the XVIII century, dense with changes inside the House and the postal administration.
The second part, organized in a thematic way, where every topic is handled chronologically, has the purpose to recreate the more properly economic and material aspects of the history of Trento Post in modern times.

The text, proposed also in English version, is based upon the figure of the ancestor and examines the documents on which Tasso's fortune is built: after the initial reference to the origins of the family from Cornello and the hint to the first postal tasks in Venice and by the papal court, lingers on the start of Tasso's Post in Tyrol, describing the receipts for some payments received by Francesco and by his relatives for postal activities.
The book describes then the beginning of Post in the Flanders, studying the content of the patent letters by Philip the Handsome and Charles I of Spain who bestowed to Francesco Tasso the role of chief and master of the Imperial Post.
The work is closed by a hint to the diffusion of Post in the main European towns after Francesco's death, occurred in 1517, and to the role of his nephews who took his inheritance on to expand it up to transform it into an international enterprise destined to last for centuries.

MASTERS OF THE IMPERIAL MAIL IN VENICE
History of a family from Bergamo from 1500 to the end of 1700
Four are the Tasso brothers who, at the beginning of 1500, give a start to the managing of Tasso's mail in Europe, allowing an exchange of news and culture further to the one of goods and money.
This volume recreates Davide Tasso's branch between Cornello and Venice, with all his descendants, up to the end of the Venetian Republic: an important element for the promotion of the Lineage and for the knowledge of our past.
Francesco Tasso had succeeded in obtaining written agreements for himself and for all Tasso descendants regarding the postal services that the Tasso family carried out on behalf of the House of Hapsburg. The great revolution in written communication was so originated in Europe, at the beginning of 1500, with well-defined routes of connection between the most important towns, stations of mail and of stages every 20/25 kilometres, certain times and prearranged economic payments.
The invention of postage stamps, other important social revolution, saw the Tasso family participate actively with the print of 52 postage stamps for their own mail lines, like the other States, 1850 to 1867, year when the deeds of Tasso generations in Europe came to an end.

and the Posts of the State of Milan during the Renaissance
Simone Tasso (Cornello, Bergamo, 1478 - Milan, 1562) belongs to the same family of Torquato Tasso, the poet of "Jerusalem Delivered", and of the princes Thurn und Taxis, and is one of the main exponent of the branch who organized a fixed and efficient postal service in Europe between the end of the XV and the first decades of the XVI century.
The present book is the result of new, in-depth research carried out by the co-authors in archives in Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany and Austria over a span of three decades. With its array of detail on rates and routes and relationships, it brings to life the colourful, challenging world of the Taxis postal couriers in the XVI century.

The Documents of the Family Tasso of the Institute Holy Family of Comonte
The ex town-house Tasso of Comonte, now seat of the Institute of Holy Family Sisters, belonged up to 1828 to the family Tasso, said "del Bretto" from the name of the place, near Cornello of Tasso in Brembana Valley, where the first members had settled during the XIV century.
In the archives of the Institute there are hundreds of documents relevant to the Tasso del Bretto and other important members of the family. Thanks to these documents, it has been possible to draw a detailed picture of the history of this branch, covering about six centuries, from the first division of the family, to the death of its last member, the countess Maria Teresa Tasso, in the XIX century.

Postage stamps and covers
the most important rarities of the Duchy of Modena
OFFICIAL CATALOGUE
The present catalogue illustrates fully in colour more than 1000 items exhibited, following the order of the guided route. At the beginning, the volume has been enriched with some introductory essays, and at the end with an exhaustive bibliography.
The exhibition, organized on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Este postage stamps, was anthological and at the same time educational as it showed, with postage stamps, mail and documents, what had been possible to find in private collections.
The volume starts showing how mail was sent before the introduction of postage stamps in the postal system of the Duchy, going on with essays, printers proofs of the types adopted and the franking on mail addressed to the Italian territory and abroad.
On show, also all the impressions and the cancellations used in the 32 postal offices which operated in the Duchy territory; among them some are extremely rare, besides the only known from the postal office in Zocca.
A wide part was devoted to the Risorgimento period (1859 - II War for Independence), showing all the historical and postal-historical events which had taken place in the territory.
A unique presentation was devoted to mail which reached destination in a very short time, quite impossible today even using the present technology such as trains, planes and motorways. In spite of the use of horses, before the slow post experimental trains, thanks to postal agreements between the different states, they could deliver letters sent early in the morning from Modena by the same day in Milan, Florence or Venice, by two days in Turin and by three days in Rome!

Italian Postal Rates from the Italian States to the Taking of Rome 1850-1870
For the first time, all the domestic postal rates of the Italian States before the unification are presented in an elegant and important volume. The summary tables accompany the short text dealing with all the rates for letters, printed matter, samples, also referred to weights and postage other than the first.
The work illustrates, for every State, all the rates from the introduction of postage stamps to the transition to the Kingdom of Italy: during that complex period, between 1859 and 1861, the introduction of Sardinian rates was gradual and distinct in the different regions. The volume continues up to 1866 for Venetia and up to 1870 for the Papal State.
Domestic rates and those abroad with the French mediation have been included. Some short and unknown rate periods enable us to identify important rarities.
However, the present work is really valuable in that it is richly illustrated, with hundreds of high quality colour photographs of the postal documents belonging to the author's collection; they represent the most important rates described. Letters of Lombardy-Venetia, Sardinia, Parma, Modena, Romagne, Tuscany, Papal State, Naples and Sicily lead the readers through an evocative journey in the world of mail during that wonderful period, from 1850 to 1870, two centuries ago.
To complete the volume, some notes, graphically presented to be immediately recognizable, on the rarity of some franking, of which the author has recorded, after accurate research, the number of known exemplars.

From the foreword by HRH Maria Gabriella of Savoy: "History seen through postage stamps, cancels and postal documents; it is quite original even from the standpoint of politics.978-88-85335-78-3
I became immediately enthusiastic about the idea of following my father's kingdom in 1946 in that peculiar way."
To show that specific and very interesting moment in Italian history, when the Kingdom of Italy came to its end, postal documents are really important as they allow us to follow "day by day" the historical development.
And it is a "postal calendar" which guides us through the 36 days relevant to the Kingdom of Umberto II, the "King of May", last King of Italy. Letters, postcards, documents which follow the events from 9 May 1946, the day on which H.M. Victor Emmanuel III abdicated the throne in favour of his son Umberto, Prince of Piedmont, to 13 June 1946, when H.M. Umberto II decided to leave Italy following the results of the 2 June 1946 referendum, through which the Italians chose between Republic and Monarchy.
Mail, images, documents, showing also previous and following moments, contribute in creating a complete picture of the period. They have been selected in order to enrich and deepen postal-historical knowledge.

Bibliography
The authors
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.

VALUATIONS IN EURO
Italian and English text
Second edition, completely revised, which deals with the use of Matraire in the Kingdom of Italy starting from the first day of issue (1 March 1862) to 31 December 1863.
The exhaustive work is divided into eight chapters, each on a different postage stamp: 10c, 20c, 40c, 80c perforated, 2c yellow, 15c Sardinia, two 15c lithographed. Quotations in Euro are also given for print varieties, perforations, franking, use.
Four appendixes complete the book: postal forgeries, "December '63" including "De La Rue", the Matraire postage-due label used in 1863, every Italian destination. Very useful tables for the more than 700 franking on cover.
Quite every item known has been reproduced and many important philatelic and postal-historical notes accompany the text, making the work an essential instrument for collectors and scholars of the Kingdom of Italy.

VOL.VI - THE "PIEDMONTESE NATION" POSTMARKS (1800-1802)
First part
The departure postmarks used by Piedmont post offices since the middle of the year 1800, prepared for as many as 102 post offices existing at the time. The offices covered in this first part are 50 in order of first use of the relative mark.
The authors were able to detect unknown postmarks and dates that anticipated or extended the period of use that appeared in Vollmeier's great work.
Considering the places where the High Police Courts were established, namely Turin, Ivrea, Mondovì, Asti, Alessandria, Vercelli, it was possible to establish that the post offices of these localities were the first to receive the departure postmarks of the "Piedmontese nation".
An element that positively characterized the postal service in the Kingdom of France was the use of postmarks, which allowed clerks to apply the correct rates and recipients to know the place from which the letter had left. With the second French invasion in 1800, postal customs from across the Alps made their way into occupied Piedmont. The postal clerks had already noticed the presence of the postmarks on correspondence from France and understood their usefulness. They also knew that this use would sooner or later also be introduced in the Piedmont offices and, while awaiting these postmarks, they were precursors, since they added the name of the departure place by hand.
With the annexation of Piedmont to the French Republic, the Sardinian postal service was also Frenchised and the Paris Post Administration Office sent the new departmental marks, characterized by the department number, to the most important post offices in Piedmont. They replaced the postmarks of the "Piedmontese nation".

Philately and postal history of Ethiopia of the period 1895-1936 are well documented; however, until now, no comprehensive documentation was available for the period 1936, end of the Italo-Ethiopian war, to 1974, year of deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I. This book now fills the gap.978-88-85335-73-8
Throughout the book chapters devoted to the historical backgrounds summarize the facts of the different periods and in some cases indicate the reasons for some issues.
The period 1936-1974, from the end of the Italo-Ethiopian war to the deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I, a rather elusive period for the Ethiopian postal history, has been studied. One chapter devoted to the post offices during the Italian occupation reports all the towns and villages that had a post office and the number of different types of cancellors used. Another chapter deals in detail with the postal arrangements of the period January 1941 - 31 January 1942 during the liberation of Italian East Africa (A.O.I.) The types and numbers of Military post cancellors used in Ethiopia during the liberation war are reported together with their period of use in the country.
All the sets issued after the restoration are described in detail giving information not reported in the stamp catalogues. New information is included, therefore: the reasons for the issues, the number of sets printed, the reported and some unreported varieties both of colour and of overprinting and much more information not generally available to collectors.
Many unreported facts deriving from unpublished studies by the author are also included in this new book.
The appendices are an important addition to the book and include a list of the Ethiopian post offices in the period 1942-1974 and a list of the known cancellors with the reproduction of most of them.
The most interesting and new appendix concerns the postal rates of the period 1942 to 1974 which until now were a mystery. The author obtained from U.P.U. the official documentation for surface and airmail rates that were not even available in Ethiopia, thus enlarging the knowledge and the scope of the Ethiopian postal history. This aspect of postal history is completed by the study of the airlines operations from 1940 through the restarting of the Ethiopian Airlines in 1947 and to 1974.
Other appendices include a list of postal stationery, postal cards and registration labels.
An elusive topic is the postal rates of the Italian East Africa, a very difficult sector with some information that shows its difficulty. Other appendices covering other aspects of postal history are also included.
A table of equivalence between catalogues will help collectors of different countries to recognise the sets and stamps that are hidden in the numbering of other catalogues.

VOL. IV THE KINGDOM OF VITTORIO AMEDEO III (1773-1796)
AND THE POSTAL RATES OF 1795 BASED ON THE DISTANCE IN "POST"
The Kingdom of Vittorio Amedeo III lasted from 1773 to 1796, for a period of almost twenty years.
Regarding Post, everything happened according to the well-known patents of 1772, with the rate system described in the 3rd volume.
The second period of kingdom of this unfortunate king was, instead, anything but quiet, starting from the French Revolution that, in 1789, upset the entire Europe.
Just during this troubled period, an important postal reform was implemented in Turin, modifying completely the method used in correspondence taxation. A criterion completely new for Piedmont was introduced with the patents of 1795, that is binding the postage of letters to the distance between the location of departure and to the one of destination (criterion already applied in France on the basis of the leagues travelled). The longer was the route the higher was the postage to pay on delivery. Since the journeys used for post by horse were measured in "post", the same was done for letters. So the parameters became two: one was the kind of letter (simple, covered, double, by ounce) and the other one was for the distance measured in "post".

Since the publication of the addendum it seemed necessary to have a more global, complete and detailed vision of the postal history of the early period (1867-1908) and to correct prior information that seemed incorrect. Thanks to the results of recent researches this task has been now achieved and the postal history of the pre- U.P.U. period has now been outlined in its essential features.978-88-85335-48-6
This completely new book includes many subjects not treated in the previous book such as detailed studies on the Napier expedition with some unpublished information, on Egyptian and Italian offices in Ethiopia, and a new study on the mail abroad by non-French means. One chapter devoted to the newly discovered early cancellors, a study on mail of the Italian-Ethiopian war of 1895-96, on the French Post of Harar and the use of its cancellors from October 1899 are also included.
Other chapters have been completely revised such as those concerning the years 1899, 1904-05 with the description of some newly found postal rates still unpublished and the organization period (1908). Each chapter includes detailed information on the known mail.
A detailed report of all cancellors used in Ethiopia with all types and colours, including those of Obock and Djibuti, is also included. Reproductions, with a few exceptions, are new and unpublished.
An interesting peculiarity is the fact that a floppy disk containing the essential information on all known covers, postal cards and picture postcards of the period 1895-1908 is enclosed to the book. The "List of Ethiopian mail" (Lem) floppy disk is PC and Mac formatted; Acrobat .pdf, Microsoft Excel .xls and html files.
A "definitive" text on the postal history of the pre-U.P.U. period of Ethiopia.

vol.III CARLO EMANUELE III AND THE NEW REGULATIONS FOR POST OF 1772 (1730-1773)
This third volume follows the long kingdom of Carlo Emanuele III, from 1730 to 1773.
Like in the two previous volumes, the authors continue the chronological path, identified with the political or postal events that have particularly characterised it (the coexistence of Vittorio Amedeo II and Carlo Emanuele III, the wars of succession, Polish first and Austrian then, the period of peace, the changes in rates and the important postal regulations of 1772).
Moreover they focus their attention on some specific subjects of essentially postal nature, trying to give exhaustive answers to some doubtful interpretations of the past (the relationships between the Post in Turin and the French couriers, hoping to definitively prove the nonexistence of a French office in Turin), that is evidencing particular aspects not always taken into the right consideration (The Country Offices of military from 1733 to 1748, the start up of a Piedmontese Post Office in the town of Rome in 1734, the official introduction of the forwarding of correspondence by sea between Piedmont and the Kingdom of Sardinia).
The work is completed by the interesting controversy arose between the bookseller Fontana and the clerks of the Post Office in Turin with rate-related implications regarding the "gazettes"; the relationships, not always peaceful, between the Piedmontese Post and the Post Office in Milan, with the first introduction of Milanese postmarks; the exemption from postal fee on the letters coming from and on those sent abroad.

Why the Comparative Plates of Sicilian Postage Stamps
Shortly after the General Direction of the Post of the Kingdom of Sardinia started selling, as collectibles, the remaining Bourbon stamps seized in the offices of the Island, the study of these magnificent rectangles of coloured paper began. Since then, they have been considered among the best made in the world.
As a matter of fact, a brief comparison with the other stamps available on the philatelic market at the beginning of the 1860's makes the artistic mastery of these Sicilian stamps immediately evident.
In 1863 the first studies of these stamps were published, and they were more and more specialized until Emilio Diena, the Great Master of the Italian philately, marked a milestone when he gave the fruit of his studies to the press in London in 1904. Since then, very little or almost nothing very innovative has been written about postage stamps. Some works, even recent ones, have only slightly dealt with the study of them, but they have brought to light some interesting findings on postal history and postmarks. Emilio Diena dedicated little time to these latter issues, not because he lacked knowledge, but rather because his research was only dedicated to "The History of Sicilian Postage Stamps".
The original edition, published in English in 1904, is practically untraceable. Both the later versions of the book are also difficult to find, the re-print in English, printed in 1969 by Giulio Bolaffi Editore and the Italian translated edition with notes added by Enzo Diena "Emilio Diena - Una vita per la Filatelia" (A Life Dedicated to Philately). The latter was published by the Post and Telecommunications Administration in 1989 on the occasion of the issuing of a stamp dedicated to the Great Master.
Now, in 2009, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Sicilian stamps, a new work, however following in the footsteps of Emilio Diena. Included in a slip-case are the work in colour with the comparative plates which are in all colour and have been analysed in detail in order to present their distinctive elements, and the complete and full size plates.
As one may notice this work is completely new in the layout and printing method implemented as we have not used the traditional four-colour screen or digital printing. This as a consequence of our belief that these two "archaic systems" would damage the fine detailed print of the plates and their portions, which are necessary to better compare them with the originals. We have chosen to use the stochastic printing system, which is also utilized in the reproduction of illuminated manuscripts and works that must be as close to the original as possible, especially in the fine details.
In our specific case, even the tiniest detail must be made visible in order to give the collector the chance to make a thorough comparison of the original stamp with the 100 on the complete sheet. The plates in the volume have been divided into blocks of 25 in order to identify each individual stamp more easily. The main characteristics of each stamp are noted so that one may pinpoint the placement of it and single out its variations caused by the wearing or different inking of the printing plate.
The retouched stamps have been reproduced in an enlarged and colour version with detailed descriptions so that the plating of the stamps on the sheets may be easily identified.
The images of the plates have come from various sources. Those of the grano first plate, first and second state, are the only complete ones in existence and have kindly been loaned by the Diena family of Rome, to whom our sincere thanks are due. The majority of the remaining images belong to our archive, among which some photographs have been donated by the late Bruno Barbacovi (Lavarone 1906 - Dimaro 1987). In addition to studying B.L.P. stamps of the Kingdom of Italy, Barbacovi also dedicated much of his time to building up the plates of Sicily. Others also come from the original sheets or are the result of the rearrangement of large blocks.
It has been said that philatelic collecting has evolved over the years and now tends to focus primarily on postal history. Philatelic collecting has indeed evolved, yet this has occurred much less radically than others may think. There are two different ways to collect and research stamps, yet both have their own undeniable value. However, in recent years there has been a marked return to the antique. This has involved the studying of stamps, among which those from Sicily prevail for their characteristics as they are so varied.
The main reason to publish this work is certainly not to revolutionize what Emilio Diena wrote more than one hundred years ago, but rather it is to offer collectors a simple and updated instrument to study in more detail the wonderful stamps of Sicily, whose undeniable beauty will live on forever.

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".

vol.II VITTORIO AMEDEO II AND THE FIRST RATES FOR LETTER POST (1684-1730)
This second volume is connected to Vittorio Amedeo II, the Duke of Savoy who became first King of Sicily and then King of Sardinia. As a duke he introduced the first postal rates for letters (1698), as King of Sicily he issued the first organic edict about Post (1718) and as King of Sardinia he made approve the definitive edict of 1720 that was in force up to 1772.
The book is enriched with almost 500 images and it is divided into three chapters: the first one covers the ducal period (1684-1713), the second one concerns the period when Vittorio Amedeo II was King of Sicily (1713-1720) and the third one is about the period when he was King of Sardinia (1720-1730).
High significance is given to the postal rates related to the town of Turin, but there are also particularly interesting documents, such as the first postal agreements undersigned by France and Piedmont at the end of XVII century and continued during the following one. Furthermore much attention is given to the interventions of the Health Magistrate in Turin, to explain the consequence of the frequent epidemics and infectious illnesses on the treatment of letters: the simple external perfuming, the de-sealing with internal perfuming and the subsequent re-sealing, the use of fumigation and the exposure to heat.
The volume is completed by the tables of the rates for letters, by the Generalship of Post and the chronology of popes and kings, by the analytic index of the most significant writings, by the bibliographic references, by the works and the institutes consulted, by the funds consulted in the history Archives of Turin.

In English
ALSO AS FREE BOOK (class C)
The study is devoted to the history of the Post under the Bourbons, up until the introduction of postage stamps on 1 January 1859.
This history can be divided into four periods.
1. up to 1535: first regulation for the postal service.
2. from 1535 to May 1786: running of the service contracted out to private persons.
3. from June 1786 to 31 March 1820: in 1786 the postal service was taken back by the state and the first handstamps were introduced in Palermo and Messina.
4. from 1 April 1820 to 31 December 1858: on 1 April 1820 the new postal regulation came into force and 116 post offices were issued with handstamps. Of particular interest are the periods of popular rising against the king in 1820 and 1848/49, which left their mark on the postal service.

In the last few years Ethiopian philately has aroused more interest than in the previous ones and this is due to the enthusiasm of some collectors and the activity of some associations.978-88-85335-21-9
In this book the author has put together all the information collected from available sources adding also elements derived from his personal experience, research and discoveries.
Inter alia, he studied the postal rates of the period 1895-1936 up to the Italian invasion, a difficult task due to the difficulty in reconstructing the main rates. This is due to the scarcity of documentation and availability of covers as well as the contradictory information, which can be deduced from examination of covers.
Some of the information here reported contradicts many important catalogues. They need some revision and updating in particular as far as dates and definition of the issues are concerned. In addition, some catalogues ignore some issues which are rarely found on covers and report some issues which now are considered as fake or illegal.
There are also some outlines of Ethiopia's history so that the collector can see the link between historical facts and the reasons for new issues.
At the end of the book the appendices report hard to find information on topics such as cancellations, postal rates, sales of stamps of the early period and so on.

Bibliography
1929-2006. Born in Milan, after the war he took the Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry and worked with Nobel laureate prof. G. Natta.
Afterwards, he worked in the pharmaceutical industry and for some years he was professor of organic chemistry at the University of Milan.

VISITS OF HOPE
World stamps witness
the travels of Pope Wojtyla
Many stamps have been dedicated to John Paul II.
This book describes and reproduces in colour the stamps and souvenir sheets connected with the 104 travels completed by the Pope outside Italy - official stamps and souvenir sheets issued by both the countries visited and the Vatican City to commemorate the visit or the themes (historical, political, religious, social…) connected with the visit of the Pontiff.
This study also includes the issues that do not directly concern the stay, but which refer to events or celebrations that the Pontiff recalled or participated in during his stay.
There is a chapter for each journey with the description of the visit and the themes dealt with, a brief account of the social and political situation, reproduction of the stamps connected with the journey.
47 opening pages illustrate the key moments in the life of Pope Wojtyla through the many stamps that were dedicated to him (for the Holy Year, the 25th year of Papacy, stamps for his birthdays and for his death, the vacant Papal See, Italian stamps and Vatican stamps, exhibitions and much more).

THE MAIN CHARACTERS: THE JOURNEYS
This work considers the 104 journeys that the Vicar of Christ undertook outside Italy throughout his Papacy, following the criteria put in place by the Holy See.
A chapter is dedicated to each journey in chronological order, presenting details of the postal issues distributed for the occasion, and ideally retracing the itinerary followed by the Pontiff. Both the issues produced by the countries that hosted the Pope over time and, at the end of each chapter, those issued by the Vatican in connection with the same itinerary are reproduced and described.
For the countries that received him, the research has involved the periods immediately before and after the visit up to approximately one year after the event: in fact, various realities, rather than announcing the experience, prefer to comment on it afterwards. In some cases, therefore, both focuses are highlighted.
The Vatican, on the other hand, has always upheld its own tradition: it waits a certain length of time - usually one or two years - and then it issues a commemorative series, generally dedicating a stamp to each itinerary. For example, the five projects completed in 1999 (Mexico and the United States together, Romania, Poland, Slovenia, India and Georgia) are celebrated with the same number of copies, which came out on the 1st September 2000. Sometimes more general subjects are added, as happened on the 3rd December 1981: alongside the places visited the previous year we have the papal coat of arms (50 lire) or His Holiness giving a blessing (900 lire).
To define the historical moment and provide further details in order to take both the journey and the circumstances in which it took place into consideration, a brief account of the visit is also given through the writings of journalists at the time or, subsequently, of the experts.
NOT JUST A PASTORAL VIEWPOINT
The creation of this collection aims to go further. Various visits were distinguished by one or more prominent themes, commemorated by special stamps issued around the time of the Pontiff's visit.
These include historical anniversaries, events, religious ceremonies that are worth noting: they are not strictly linked with the Pope's visit - although the Pope himself is involved - but they can help us fully understand its context.
His first stay in Argentina, from the 10th to the 13th June 1982, had one main motivation: to attempt mediation between Buenos Aires and London, divided by the bloody Falkland-Malvinas conflict. Of course, the South-American country highlights the presence of the Bishop of Rome on the 12th June, but the issues also help us understand the climate at the time, such as those from the 22nd April where the islands are shown as being Argentinean.
Another example: from the 6th to the 16th October 1989 the Pilgrim visited, in order, South Korea, Indonesia and Mauritius. Seoul did not issue any special stamps, but on the 4th October an 80 Won commemorates the 44th International Eucharistic Congress, organised in the Asian capital and attended by the Pontiff.

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."

Why the Comparative Plates of Sicilian Postage Stamps
Shortly after the General Direction of the Post of the Kingdom of Sardinia started selling, as collectibles, the remaining Bourbon stamps seized in the offices of the Island, the study of these magnificent rectangles of coloured paper began. Since then, they have been considered among the best made in the world.
As a matter of fact, a brief comparison with the other stamps available on the philatelic market at the beginning of the 1860's makes the artistic mastery of these Sicilian stamps immediately evident.
In 1863 the first studies of these stamps were published, and they were more and more specialized until Emilio Diena, the Great Master of the Italian philately, marked a milestone when he gave the fruit of his studies to the press in London in 1904. Since then, very little or almost nothing very innovative has been written about postage stamps. Some works, even recent ones, have only slightly dealt with the study of them, but they have brought to light some interesting findings on postal history and postmarks. Emilio Diena dedicated little time to these latter issues, not because he lacked knowledge, but rather because his research was only dedicated to "The History of Sicilian Postage Stamps".
The original edition, published in English in 1904, is practically untraceable. Both the later versions of the book are also difficult to find, the re-print in English, printed in 1969 by Giulio Bolaffi Editore and the Italian translated edition with notes added by Enzo Diena, "Emilio Diena - Una vita per la Filatelia". The latter was published by the Post and Telecommunications Administration in 1989 on the occasion of the issuing of a stamp dedicated to the Great Master.
Now, in 2009, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Sicilian stamps, a new work, however following in the footsteps of Emilio Diena. Included in a slip-case are the work with the comparative plates which are in all colour and have been analysed in detail in order to present their distinctive elements, and the 15 complete and full size plates in a special holder, in two separate editions in Italian and English.
As one may notice this work is completely new in the layout and printing method implemented as we have not used the traditional four-colour screen or digital printing. This as a consequence of our belief that these two "archaic systems" would damage the fine detailed print of the plates and their portions, which are necessary to better compare them with the originals. We have chosen to use the stochastic printing system, which is also utilized in the reproduction of illuminated manuscripts and works that must be as close to the original as possible, especially in the fine details.
In our specific case, even the tiniest detail must be made visible in order to give the collector the chance to make a thorough comparison of the original stamp with the 100 on the complete sheet. The plates in the volume have been divided into blocks of 25 in order to identify each individual stamp more easily. The main characteristics of each stamp are noted so that one may pinpoint the placement of it and single out its variations caused by the wearing or different inking of the printing plate. The retouched stamps have been reproduced in an enlarged and colour version with detailed descriptions so that their plating on the sheets may be easily identified.
We must be thankful for Giuseppe La Barbera and Francesco Lao for how they were able to execute their work, that I personally believe was brilliant, when taking into consideration the technology they had available to them long ago in 1858-1859. Not even today, despite all the technology we have available to us, would we be able to convey the charm that only these one-of-a-kind Sicilian stamps are able to exude. They reward us with the feeling of relaxation that we all seek to achieve by closing ourselves off from daily life for awhile.
I humbly dedicate my new work to these intrepid printers and to the great engraver of the steel matrix, Tommaso Aloysio Juvara.
The images of the plates have come from various sources. Those of the grano first plate, first and second state, are the only complete ones in existence and have kindly been loaned by the Diena family of Rome, to whom our sincere thanks are due. The majority of the remaining images belong to our archive, among which some photographs have been donated by the late Bruno Barbacovi (Lavarone 1906 - Dimaro 1987). In addition to studying B.L.P. stamps of the Kingdom of Italy, Barbacovi also dedicated much of his time to building up the plates of Sicily. Others also come from the original sheets or are the result of the rearrangement of large blocks, which belong to collectors who decided to remain anonymous but made their material available to me, giving me the chance to make this research as thorough as possible.
It has been said that philatelic collecting has evolved over the years and now tends to focus primarily on postal history. Philatelic collecting has indeed evolved, yet this has occurred much less radically than others may think. There are two different ways to collect and research stamps, yet both have their own undeniable value. However, in recent years there has been a marked return to the antique. This has involved the studying of stamps, among which those from Sicily prevail for their characteristics as they are so varied.
The main reason to publish this work is certainly not to revolutionize what Emilio Diena wrote more than one hundred years ago, but rather it is to offer collectors a simple and updated instrument to study in more detail the wonderful stamps of Sicily, whose undeniable beauty will live on forever.

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.

The first world war is at its end. On 3/11/1918 Italy and Austria subscribe a Peace Treaty, which will be signed only on 10/9/1919. In Bolzano and Upper Adige reigns a situation of uncertainty about the destiny of the occupied territory, which influences also the postal service.
The forwarding of mail during these months is really difficult for the authorities in charge, above all when letters are not franked or only partly franked. On the one hand, the territory is under Italian occupation – therefore forced to use Italian postage due labels; on the other hand, these labels, even overprinted, are completely lacking, at least up to the first days of March 1919. This situation compels the Main Post Office in Trent to authorize, with two circulars, Upper Adige post offices to transform, whenever necessary, the postage stamps into provisional postage due labels through hand-stamp or overprint. Each office has the possibility to take its own measures.

THE AUSTRIAN POST IN ROME978-88-85335-76-9
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.

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.

For the first time a book devoted to the international routes and rates of mail from and to the Old Italian States published in Italy. To allow reaching a broader audience, the authors have preferred to write it in English.The aim of this book is to explain the postal rates and routes of mail from and to the Old Italian States from 1850 to the introduction of the Sardinian / Italian rates in 1859-1861. In two cases the analysis was extended to 1866 (for Austrian Venetia), and 1870 (for the Papal States). In fact the conquest of Rome, in September 1870, signalled the end of the last Old Italian State.
The countries are divided by continent, and are presented in alphabetical order. Within each country the following information is presented in chronological order.
- In relation to the direct postal Conventions, their effective dates and salient points are indicated. Whenever a direct Convention existed, the postal rates of the two countries were generally equal, except for the rounding of the different currencies.
- When mail was carried with the mediation of a third country, the rates of outgoing mail were generally different from those of the incoming mail. It was also possible to have the mediation of more countries for the same destination.
- The postal routes are indicated when a given mediation allowed for different routings.
The currency in use is indicated with its parity to the main currencies, as this will allow a better understanding of the accountancy markings. In addition, the different weight units and their conversion into grams are stated in order to explain the respective weight progressions of letters and printed matter.
The set of Analytical Indexes was designed to make this volume as user friendly as possible, with a view to allow a quick reference to any desired subject.

POSTAGE STAMPS OF THE KINGDOM OF NAPLESAND TWO TEMPORARY HALF TORNESE STAMPS OF 1860
In 1858 the first postage stamps of Naples, and on the occasion of the 150th anniversary the study by Emilio Diena about the postage stamps of the Kingdom of Naples.
The well-known monograph, first published in a series of articles in the magazine "Il Corriere Filatelico" between 1929 and 1931, and later in the edition of 1932, is properly considered as Emilio Diena's masterpiece.
The work is the result of several years of research and study in a subject which is really difficult to deal with, due to technical and graphic problems (plates, double prints, papers, shades of colour) and historical and postal-historical aspects.
Emilio Diena was able to solve many issues and to organise the material found in a perfect way so that his work is still a reference point for specialists.
Such a result was obtained even thanks to a team effort: his son Alberto spent several months in Naples to look for the official documentation; Emilio Diena had the opportunity to consult the most important collectors of the time; to plate the "crocetta", he was given the photographs of the 87 copies of that rare 1/2 tornese kept in the Tapling collection by Sir Edward Demy Bacon.
The present new edition, included in the series "the Recoveries", is like the anastatic reprint of 1992, with preface by Enzo Diena, except for its layout.
The three tables on their own with the reproductions of the varieties of the 1/2 tornese Croce di Savoia postage stamp have been included in the volume.
Several illustrations of all the stamps.

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.

Then, the many recurrent defects of cliché: besides a rich iconography of the most visible and known defects, for some of them the different steps of deterioration in time are shown.

POSTAGE STAMPS
Fondazione Ignazio Mormino of Banco di Sicilia keeps, among historical and antiquarian property, a prestigious philatelic collection, presented in this volume, which is the first of a series devoted to the Foundation's possessions.
The collection includes 1482 items in 900 really rare postal documents relevant to the first issues of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which were used in 1858 in the Kingdom of Naples and from 1 January 1859 in the Kingdom of Sicily. The latter are known as the most beautiful stamps issued by the Old Italian States: the portrait of Ferdinando II was engraved by Tommaso Aloysio Juvara (1809-1875) from Messina, one of the best engravers in the middle of the XIX century.
To complete the work, the editor, Nino Aquila, has added material coming from private prestigious collections.
In the chapters before the presentation of the stamps, the volume follows the history of the issues in their historical background, the route and postal situation in Sicily in the XIX century, and the formation of the collection.

FROM CARBONARI REVOLTS TO CIRO MENOTTI 1820 - 1831The History of the sacrifice by the Hero of Italian Risorgimento and of Carbonari revolts from 1820 to 1831 presented through documentary material. The research is based on the original documents of the time, all illustrated, sent or spread by the Postal Service or carried by horse-couriers.
After the Republican revolution, Napoleon period, Murat, Italy is again at the mercy of oppressive governments. Thanks to the improvement of the road system and the following development of communication, information and news about what is happening can circulate easily, thus generating groups of people well informed and aware. Since the resulting rebellion cannot be expressed openly, many secret Societies and Confraternities arise.
The book revisits their story, follows the events and brings back to life the act of courage of a great son of Modena, revolt heart, Ciro Menotti.

Catalogue and valuation of postmarks and cancellations 1792-1920
By Cagliari Association for Philately and Numismatics
History of postal service in Sardinia and catalogue of all the marks used in the island from the prehadesive period to the 20's of the Twentieth century, the result of many years of research and study of thousands of documents.
The authors follow the development of postal communication in the island through the different historical steps and the political-institutional background, and place the marks in their historical-political context, of which they are unmistakable evidence.
The present work provides many updates to what known before. It includes cancellations relevant to sea and railway services, but not those of military mail and of the Kingdom of Sardinia fleet (1848-1861) as they were not used in the island.

THE TEACHER OF POSTAGE STAMPS
Published by USFI, the Italian Union of Philatelic Press, it is the story of a schoolteacher, Gastone Rizzo, who used postage stamps as a didactic method. He taught the different subjects with the help of the stamps featuring historical events, geographical places, Jesus' life, concepts of geometry, mathematics, grammatical and logical analysis,...
His method caught the interest of Unesco and of Italian and foreign journalists, and his work was presented in a documentary film titled "A school like this".
He retired in 1978, but his activity aimed at the diffusion of philately among young people goes on.

Creative prose on the postage stamps of the Kingdom of Italy
Preface by Francesco De Martino.
77 art prose inspired by 8 series particularly important of the Kingdom of Italy, appeared 1923 to 1942: the Fiftieth of Manzoni's death (1923); the Bi-millennium of Virgilio's death (1930); the "Pro Dante Alighieri" series (1932); the March on Rome Tenth Anniversary (1932); the Exhibition on summer colonies (1937); the Bi-millennium of Augusto's birth (1937); the Bi-millennium of Tito Livio's birth (1941); the third Centenary of Galileo Galilei's death (1942).
The postage stamps, reproduced in colour and enlarged so to highlight details, give the author narrative pretexts to tell the destiny of men. In the preface, the historical and literary context for the characters featured in the vignettes and for the author's texts.
The book is ideally connected to the one issued in 2012 "Forge, grape harvest and timber", dedicated to the postage stamps of the series "Italy at work".

The exhibit starts with the pre-issue essays and other ephemera that preceded the stamps. Many of these exist in fewer than five examples, if not being unique in their own right. Besides the essays, original documents telling of the forthcoming issues are of major interest, along with the Official VR stamp. The Penny Black (Plates 1, 1a, 1b and 2) and 2d blue (Plate 1), along with the red prints from the 1d plate are all that are shown. The latter completes the picture of the progression of repair to the 1d plate. Uses, shades and varieties of both denominations available in the earliest years of philately add spice to the presentation.
It not only serves as a source of reference for the benefit of like-minded philatelists but, because it includes introductory material and a commentary at the beginning of each section, will also interest the general reader.

HISTORY, MAIL, PHILATELY
Volume I
The text, conceived in two separate volumes, represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately.
The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa and the second one is about the Italian Empire. Nevertheless, in order to facilitate readers, the chapters of Volume I concerning Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941, above all as long as the card-indexing of the offices and their postmarks is concerned.
The study is realised with the maximum historical and documentary rigour; all the information are in fact the result of official and controlled sources. It is useful both to postal history researchers and to collectors, with pages about the organization and the method of services, as well as complete and clearly organized tables of all the post and telegraph offices; for each one of these, all the known postmarks are reproduced. Moreover, the work is accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people) with images realised with care and reproduced in the original format. The rich quantity of material of every office, that proposes letters and other postal documents left from or arrived there, besides the images of the places and of the environments, represents a quality of the work.
Every volume starts with a historical-descriptive part, followed by the lists of offices and postmarks, divided into chapters like the historical-descriptive part, and placed, in every chapter, in alphabetical order. Every postmark is numbered. Together with the second volume, a catalogue with point valuation is present.

Italian writers in philately
The book dissects in a monographic and comprehensive way the connections between Italian writers and philately: the Author, in his extensive treatment, has followed the way how Italian writers were represented on postage stamps, that thus become a precious means for disseminating information and culture.
He follows in detail the thread of the philatelic issues of traditional Italian nations in the Italian area, namely Italy, San Marino and Vatican City, dividing the treatment into 14 dense chapters.
The first author celebrated in philately was Dante Alighieri, in 1921, followed by Alessandro Manzoni, two years later. Since then, dozen writers have been impressed in a postage stamp. They often are classic authors, but in recent decades the faces and writings of the most important authors of the XXth century have found a place too, Primo Levi to Tomasi di Lampedusa, Montale to Quasimodo.
The book also talks about not Italian writers (Latin and foreign). There are, then, guessable connections to history, since postage stamps also contain a political message, in a more or less evident way, and reflect the changes in habits (think, for example, about the role of women in postage stamps, regarding which the author writes persuasive and informed pages).
159 colour postage stamps of writers are displayed in the appendix to the book, so to have an immediate visual feedback.

Postal services and philately among historical events and every day's life
In over 400 pages, almost all illustrated, the author has analysed to the smallest detail all Rijeka philatelic issues and the relevant postal history with emphasis on historical events. That is very important for Rijeka postage stamps: to know them and to understand their meaning, we must place them in their historical context.
After WWI (1818-1924) Rijeka became an independent city, with its own currency and postage stamps. The search for facts is not easy since almost all the official documentation was destroyed or is lost.
This book represents a must to anyone who wants to study or collect postage stamps or postal history of Rijeka: it is an exhaustive work that consists of the compendium of the passionate commitment of many researchers that have gradually devoted themselves to place all the elements necessary to realise a mosaic as complete and acceptable as possible.
Every issue is examined technically and contextualized in accordance with the peculiar historical moment that has assisted to its birth. This is the reason why the book reports history and less known aspects of economy and of daily life of that period, including the monetary events that accompanied the transition from Hungarian crown to Lira. Also a series of philatelic themes, mostly still unexplored, are dealt with: postal history and, in particular, postal uses - rates, often obscure, failing accepted juridical references - cancellations and censor marks - military by surface, by air and by sea - postal stationery.
The book is divided into the following parts:
Part one - The inter-allied occupation
Part two - The inter-allied occupation goes on
Part three - The period of Gabriele d'Annunzio
Part four - From free State to annexation to Italy

Italian writers in world philately
The title of the book draws on the juxtaposition between Dante and the eagle, present on an Italian stamp of 1921. The Florentine writer has always been considered abroad, properly, one of the most pregnant symbols of Italian character and, as a consequence, the interest towards his person and work has often coincided with the attention towards the Italian culture in general or, at least, towards the literary one.
This is the starting point to examine the way how Italian writers have been considered in foreign philately, for a long time, up to the present days.
Starting from the interpretation of philatelic data, widening the speech with data taken from history, history of art and, in general, from the universe of communication, the text spreads onto the consideration shown abroad towards the main Italian writers. In fact all the stamps studied in this book are the ones that various nations, among which USA, Russia, Germany and Argentina, have devoted to writers of the calibre of Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Machiavelli and Goldoni, up to more recent ones, such as Grazia Deledda, Dino Buzzati and Dario Fo.
In appendix, a section in colour of philatelic plates shows the main postal values proposed in the text.
CONTENTS
Chap. I - Confirmations and discoveries beyond the Alps
Chap. II - Italian exceptions and Latin classics
Chap. III - The two times of Dante's fortune
Chap. IV - Dante abroad: a global view
Chap. V - The first Dantesque issues of 1965
Chap. VI - Dante in the New World: USA, Argentina and Mexico
Chap. VII - The five Dantesque postage stamps of the Principality of Monaco

LETTERS FROM THE WAR OF ITALY
ON THE TRAIL OF GARIBALDI'S SOLDIERS
The Authors use postal materials as historical source, relating the historical events to postal history, and vice versa, also thanks to the fortunate recovery of two letters of that period that are systematically analyzed.
The scenery is the enterprise of Garibaldi's Thousand to conquer the Kingdom of Two Sicilies: in this context, the system of postal communications that played a strategic role in it is examined. This central event of Italian Risorgimento is narrated from a different and unreleased viewpoint, highlighting also a slice of the daily life of some participants to Garibaldi's enterprise, exploring for the first time the contents of the letters that often narrate events in a different way.
The book develops in parallel a rigorous postal-historical study of the rates and of the ways of sending mail from and to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, highlighting the fast changes in postal communication, determined by Garibaldi's advance and by the other events connected to the development of the Kingdom of Italy.
Dealing with a period of war and revolution, the Authors have found some difficulties in finding the norms that determined the changes in the correspondence rates.

History, postage stamps, rates and collecting aspects
PHILATELIC AND POSTAL HISTORICAL MONOGRAPH
The work, after an introduction about the services of urgent mail as forerunners of the Priority Service in Italy, narrates the economic political context which Italian Post conceived and started this postal product in; it is therefore the tale of its history from the origin of the service on 1 December 1997 as experimental phase, its real start on 21 June 1999 and its end in May 2006.
Like the Express service, it was represented by peculiar postage stamps, initially golden, the first self-sticking ordinary postage stamps. The first one of these postage stamps was issued 7 days before the creation of the service; during this period, they have been used improperly generating interesting combinations and uses for the happiness of collectors. The postage stamp continued being printed until mid-2009, though it was no more necessary, it was replaced by the issue of the subsequent ordinary series of Italian Post (Flying little letter with tricolour contrail).
The volume accompanies readers in a chronological way through the issue of various postage stamps (fifty including booklets) the innumerable varieties and fakes, the rate changes and so the possible uses, some of which extremely rare for printings some of which very limited. The authors have also identified postage stamps that show the interference disc of different sizes; these findings, not catalogued yet, can be count on the fingers of one hand.

Pilgrimages of faith by means of postage stamps
Result of a deep historical and archival research, the book reports in detail, by means of postage stamps, all the 26 Ordinary Holy Years, besides the numerous Extraordinary ones, that are here examined both from the historical - religious and from the adventurist point of view.
Every Jubilee described in the volume is always accompanied by a rich iconography of deliberately philatelic type, inspired by postage stamps issued by Vatican City, Italy, San Marino and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. All data related to series, date of issue and identification of the State that has produced them are listed in the chapter "Iconographic References". The postage stamps issued to celebrate Jubilees are always represented inside a frame with halo.
The introduction of every single character, the tale of facts and events, the iconographic choice referring exclusively to the images of each postage stamp, everything is deliberately formulated according to a journalistic approach and comes out particularly pleasant.

The text, conceived in two separate volumes plus, joint to the second volume, the catalogue of postmarks, represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately.
Accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people), every volume presents, besides a historical-descriptive part: offices of military and civil mail (included some unrealised), rates, postmark (all numbered, divided into chapters and in alphabetical order), postage stamps, postcards, postal traffic, forwarding routes.
In the second volume, at work conclusion, a rich annotated bibliography, an abstract in English and a complete analytical index of the two volumes.
The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa; nevertheless, the chapters about Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941.
The second volume deals with the War of Ethiopia, the Italian Empire, the second war and the immediate postwar period in those territories.
Of great importance is the catalogue of postmarks, joint to the second volume.

With the collaboration by Beniamino Bordoni
The volume recreates and narrates the history of the Union of the Italian philatelic press by means of cancelled postcards, postage stamps, letters, magazine covers, documents and pictures taken on the occasion of various events. From the first assembly, that took place in Florence on 8 May 1966, are reported, year by year, the documents, the episodes, the news, the curiosities, the relationships with the Ministry of the Italian Post and the postal service, the whole associated with the passion for philately and post. A work apt to safeguard the historical memory of the protagonists that, during the years, have contributed to keep the Union alive.

Catalogue of the postmarks used by travelling offices and by couriers
from 1862 to 1973
The subject dealt with is related to the non occasional use in Sicily of travelling post offices, both overland and by sea route, that have been working in a period that can be defined "classical" for the Italian postal history, that is the one included in the first century of adjustment of the administrative activity after the Unification of Italy.
An amazing number of postmarks has come out, attesting the fervour with which the development of communications was welcome and encouraged also in Sicily. The largest possible number of the postmarks described has been reproduced in the book.

Version extended with numerous new insertions compared to the edition in Italian.
The term "Post", before being used to suggest an administrative reality and as a synonym of exchanges of letters, was born to suggest specific transports able to have messages delivered as fast as possible. From the first horse messengers we arrive at the resident post masters, with their assistants or postillions originating the service of horse mail. Various evolutions come in succession between the late fourteenth century and the mid sixteenth century; in the seventeenth century the letter mail service was born, a model that remains valid until the arrival of the train and of the electric telegraph in the nineteenth century; finally we find telecommunications, telephone and telematics.
An essential and exhaustive excursus at the same time.

"SAVOY CROSS"
Technical-descriptive study with the reconstruction of the table
Second Edition
Introduction by Raffaele Diena
Thanks to the process the authors have used for the plating of each of the one hundred "varieties", through computer comparisons and thousands of photographs available, the identification, with mathematical accuracy, of every position of the "cross" is now possible.
For the present second edition the whole volume has been revised, corrected and enriched in the light of new archive acquisitions and of photographic documentation. In most cases, pictures have been replaced with higher definition ones.
Compared to the first edition, photos are now more complete with all the hundred 'varieties' also of the Trinacria.
Three unreleased sections have been added: the chapter about forgeries, deepened and enriched with an extended treatment of the forgeries by De Sperati, in order to allow for sure their recognizing; an appendix about Trinacria (postal use, cancellations, forgeries); and, in the end, an appendix with the first attempt of reconstruction of the second plate of 1/2 grano of the Kingdom of Naples.
From the preface by Raffaele Diena.
"The present grand work about a sole postal value used only for some months in the period just before the unification of Italy represents, for sure, a display of courage and resolution by the authors. It is not so easy to obtain so many documents and information, even though they had an important reference point in the work by Emilio Diena about the postage stamps of the Kingdom of Naples. [...]besides the postal-historical research, with rates and use of the time, the different steps in the realization and technical characteristics in details, it is quite relevant the fact that the present volume has as its main aim the identification, with mathematical accuracy, of every position of the 'cross'. The authors have concentrated their efforts in this, thanks to the process they have used for the plating of each of the one hundred 'varieties', through computer comparisons and thousands of photographs available."

THE POSTAL REFORM OF 1863 IN THE KINGDOM OF ITALYLaws, Agreements, Documents, Rates
The Postal Reform of 1863 marked a turning point in the Italian postal context. The birth of the Kingdom of Italy compelled the Legislator to elaborate a rule which, after all, would not displease anyone from North to South.
The Law of 5 May 1862, n.604, which reformed the postal system, cannot be regarded as an end in itself but merely as a link between a fragmentary pre-unity postal period and a modern one after the unity of Italy. For this reason, the historical exegesis of every content is essential, by verifying all the transformations that regulations have undergone in the years before and after 1863 directly from the original texts.
The Author investigates this important historical moment in a new way, to leave the pleasure of personally verifying the legislative sources to scholars and collectors. More than 600 colour images, indeed, show, in original, more than 80 laws, agreements and decrees reported in full or with the most significant and relevant articles that retrace postal regulations from 1818 to 1888, highlighting the evolution that the various rules have undergone over the years.
This process is accompanied by more than 250 postal documents that testify the regulatory changes that have taken place mainly with regard to rates but without neglecting dates, routes and historical news.
The volume, elaborated with material from the Author's own collections, set up in many years of passionate researches, ends with a detailed list of all laws and decrees in chronological order.

from the Lombardy - Venetia administration to the Sardinian - Italian one
1850-1866
Completely colour illustrated with the reproduction of letters and postmarks, the work is composed of two parts.
In the first one a description is given of the geographic, political and economic situation of the province of Bergamo in the years over 1859, the year of the annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia; in this context the postal services on the territory, both in the Lombardy - Venetia period and in the Sardinian - Italian one, are examined too.
In the second part, that constitutes the catalogue with relevant valuations, all the 76 post offices that have operated in the province are listed alphabetically (except Bergamo, country seat, put at the beginning) and classified on the basis of the canceller postmarks used in the period examined.
The pertaining historical administrative period is taken into consideration In the introduction of the different postmarks, for the so called "pre-existing" offices, i.e. instituted in the Lombardy - Venetia period.
For the offices of new institution, created progressively from January 1860, the belonging to the Sardinian - Italian period is implied, therefore the relevant valuation is not conditioned by the peculiar historical period.
The canceller postmark, when unique, or the different and subsequent ones, when more than one, are described for every single office.
Some postmarks, in the period of their use, were impressed with inks in colour different from black, in shades that go from light blue to green.
The first and the last date known are reported for every postmark of every office.

in Italy 1881-1914: a philatelic history... and not only
The author has undertaken a study of the service basing himself on all the legislative and normative sources of the first 35 years of the service (1881-1914) gathering and analysing an enormous amount of official documents.
The volume contextualizes the historical situation that has determined the beginning of the service with the signature of the agreement of Paris of 1880; it clarifies what laws, regulations and instructions discipline the service both for inland and for abroad, for the Italian Offices abroad and for Italian Colonies; it explains the evolution of the various kinds of postal bulletins and their franking methods; it specifies the evolution of the services and of the rates for inland and for abroad (the rates for abroad are gathered in 35 pages and they had never been published before); it quantifies the service evolution with official statistical data of forwarding and it introduces a picture of the goods sent (275 millions of parcels, of which 26 to foreign countries, have been sent from Italy in the first 35 years of service, for a total transport of over one million of tons of goods); it presents interesting philatelic considerations, including the estimate of the existing material and the rarity of the various forwarding bulletins.
In the Appendix, the complete list of the paragraphs about "Postal Bulletins", pertaining to the service of parcels put into circulation from 1881 to 1914 and one "overview" with the colour reproduction of 64 postal bulletins particularly interesting with their relevant description.

It gathers an exceptional whole of collections that have almost all obtained a gold or a large gold award at the international exhibitions they have participated in.
Every collector has written a commentary or explained personally his own collection, showing some exceptional items.
It is a work suitable both for collectors of this specific theme, and to all those who are willing to admire items of rare beauty from a philatelic point of view.

In 1815, under the Restoration, France has found again the frontiers of 1790.
From 1814, the Kingdom of Sardinia (Savoy, Piedmont and Isle of Sardinia) is restored and enlarged in 1815 with the annexation of the ancient Republic in Genoa. The Principality of Monaco passes under the Sardinian protectorate.
The work studies the postal relationships between the two countries and the whole transit that passes through this important axle in Europe.
At that time, Italy is divided into nine sovereign states and one province of the Austrian Empire: the Kingdom of Lombardy - Venetia. Each one has its postal practices, its currency, its units of weight, its postal rates.
They are all described with precision in the enclosures that also show the conventions, the agreements, the ordinances, the postal circulars and the rates that discipline these relationships.
The text explains in detail most of the casuistries that may be met, with the models of franking and taxation. It contains the reproduction of more than 260 letters, from the most common to the rarest, all meticulously described.

Insights into Sicilian postal history
1859-1861
The Sicily of 1859-1861 told through postal history and Ippolito Nievo letters. Some insights into an extraordinary period, with gattopardesche atmospheres, which preceded the Unity of Italy on the island, analysing the effects of revolution on the postal system and the correspondence of a brilliant and idealist young man who spent last months of his life in Sicily following Garibaldi's troops.
From the preface by Giulio Perricone, President of the Sicilian Philatelic Union
"The two collectors authors of this work [...] if on the one hand have added a piece to the history of the patriot who was wrecked on the journey between Palermo and Naples in 1861 [...] on the other have enriched, with a learned publication, the great chapter of Italian postal history, of Sicily, of the Garibaldian period, of the emergency mail systems connected to an insurrectional situation."
From the introduction by Francesca Tamburlini, Head of the Manuscripts and Rare Items Section of "Vincenzo Joppi" Civic Library of Udine
"The text [...] turns the attention on some almost unexplored aspects of these writings, that is on the "conventional" elements and marks found on the envelopes [...] without neglecting the texts of the letters that are resumed and cited to make the meaning of those external signs better understood. [...] The essay of the two authors comes to the rescue and opens up a new world, guiding us from the place of departure of the letter to its final destination [offering] of these Ippolito's documents an additional reading."

The book presents a large postal documentation of the Kuestenland, according to the office of departure, of destination, the rate, the means of transport, the agreements, quoting the most significant dates of postal-historical nature. Maps, posters and decrees have been inserted, all with short notes whose goal is to make their meaning clearer, placing them inside a precise geographical-historical context. Between the most significant dates to remember, 1 October 1869, when the first Correspondenz-karte or postcard in the world was introduced, 1 July 1875, year in which the Treaty of the General Union of Post entered into force and, on 1 August 1878, was renamed becoming Universal Postal Union, hence the various conventions between the States expired except for the Treaty of the Austrian-German League, that remained in force being the most beneficial for both communities. The opening year of the Post Offices, the types of cancellations known, the colour and the period of use are reported.

with the cooperation of Gabriele Cafulli, Francesco Luraschi, Massimiliano Ferroni, Giuseppe Antonio Natoli
Description and cataloguing of the Lombardy Venetia postmarks in the Post Office of Milan, from which all correspondence transited, in the period from the introduction of postage stamps to the liberation of 1859. A great variety of uses, shapes, colours, a continuous experimentation of new technologies for the production of handstamps, inks, stamps, papers.
For each handstamp, the characteristics of the impression (size and type of characters); any changes made over time and, when significant for classification, the evolution of the impression in the period of use with different degrees of wearing; the intended use specifying if and when the handstamp was used; the total period of use and the period observed for each intended use; the degree of rarity for each type of use (stamp or cancellation).
Maximum space for "typological" cancellations and postmarks, i.e. those regularly used for a certain period of time or even occasionally in very specific situations. Only a nod is given for the errors in the dates (missing, inverted, etc.) Exhaustive and complete the classification of squared and small circle stamps based on different types in perfect chronological sequence.
Some sections complete the catalogue: examples of the various cases of error in the date composition, registered letters, more details.
Thanks also to the cooperation of enthusiasts and scholars of the most diverse disciplines, the work presents, in addition, Milan postal history from its origins to the end of Austrian domination, the postal reform, postal rates and services, the first and second issue postage stamps, insights, a historical overview.

IN THE REPUBLIC OF VENICE
In appendix, the catalogue of postmarks
The catalogue, published in a simplified form for an easy reading of the complexity of postmarks, is introduced by an examination about the history of Post in the Republic of Venice, with the purpose of clarifying the complex Venetian postal structure, so much original and important in the European postal development, being Venice one of the most important junctions for the postal connections of Europe.
The work runs through the following path:
From the " cursus publicus" to Medieval couriers, the Venetian trade activity and the transport of messages, transit ways in the Middle Ages, the decree of 6 January 1305, mounted couriers in the Republic of Venice, The Venetian Courier Company, the external postal jus, the Rome travel, the Otranto way, the connection with the island of Malta, the long journey to France, the Milan travel, the courier of Zurich, the agreement with the Fischers of Bern, courier mail in Ferrara, Bologna, Modena and Florence, foreign Post in Venice, mail in Vienna and mail in Poland, mail from Flanders to Brussels, the internal postal jus, the "polizze d'incanto" (policies on contract) of 1747-58, mounted couriers of the Republic of Venice and the rooms of Riva de l'Ogio in Rialto, the general tender of 1761, Girolamo Corticelli, Venetian coins, overseas mail, the fee of 1 soldo per letter and of 3 soldi per ounce, the introduction of postmarks, Post at the fall of the Republic of Venice, catalogue.

NOTES ABOUT 20 CENTESIMI POSTAGE STAMPS
The text wants to be of service to those who wish to start learning concepts about a topic quite obscure.
The authors have started observing the 20 centesimi postage stamps because the black overprint comes out in a clean and precise way on the "basic" carmine postage stamp.
By means of images and enlargements, it is possible to observe the features of the overprint and the different varieties attributable to the single positions inside the plate setting.

Italian and English text
The process of unification of the postal system came to an end with the law promulgated in 1862 which entered into force on 1st January 1863, the date when the Italian post office was born, and the authors did well to consider it as the beginning of their work.
Everything was different: for each destination, rules, rates, service possibilities, routes. A real jumble in which the sender could extricate himself only with the mediation of the postal service. And, in the materiality of postal documents, all this translated into three great semiotic categories that are recognizable today: postage stamps, postmarks, handwritten indications. A redundant and costly complexity for the sender of the time. Which, however, due to a fascinating reversal of occasions over time, today is transformed into a delight and an exciting field of investigation for the researcher: this is the topic of this volume.
The three categories of signs must be read together to arrive at the decoding of the document; the reading of each postal document (letters and other objects, whether or not encumbered by accessory services) must be preceded by a careful study of the regulations, of the international treaties, in short, of the rules, of which the document is the final outcome. An exquisitely historical way of proceeding, which the authors of this beautiful volume master with certain ease.
It has already been said about the upper chronological limit - 1st January 1863 - and the choice is very correct. The authors explain the lower one: that jumble mentioned above had a first moment of simplification thanks to the creation of the General Union of the Post that dictated the first rules. Then, on 1st April 1879, the General Union became "universal".

A VOYAGE THROUGHOUT PHILATELY AND POSTAL HISTORY
The six chapters (In Italy, War and Post-war period, outside Italy, Peculiar uses, Cancellations, Fiscals) examine the origins, the rates, the types and varieties, the uses of those values issued from 1906, whose subject consists of the effigy of king Vittorio Emanuele III, and whose name brings to mind the artist author of the drawing, Nestore Leoni.
The postage stamps and the postal stationery bearing the cameo effigy of the king of Italy were intended for the most diverse uses, from ordinary to express, air and pneumatic mail, up to advertisement stamps, the so called BLP, and to the overprints for the territories obtained after the Great War (including Bolzano postage due stamps), Italian colonies, domains and offices outside Italy. The effigy was then used for fiscals until the 50's of last century, when Italy had become a Republic and the king was dead.
By using hundreds of pieces including covers, postal stationery and postage stamps, illustrated in colour, the author is able to retrace the "great" history of the early decades of the XX century by means of the many "small" stories arising from them. For the sake of clarity, every chapter contains a chart with the values issued, the period and the relevant kind of use.

The Author has devoted almost all his collecting life to the study of the postage stamps of Modena, that means of the Este Duchy.
The work, accompanied by several hundreds of images, is the result of his researches and deepening concerning the whole genesis of the Este postage stamps, including also the essays and the proofs necessary to create the first examples of the postage stamps of Modena.
The reader finds, therefore, a rich and exhaustive compendium of official news, facts and historical and technical events about Modena philately, rebuilding this way an important frame of it.

POSTAL HISTORY OF THE TAKING OF ROME
Postal History Italian Association
The approach followed for this work is detached from a mere and simple historical-postal treatment that sees the taking of Rome as an almost lightning-fast process in 1870. The authors outline the path within the "Roman question", which finds ground fertile for political discussion and military action in the decade preceding the annexation of the city.
In the first chapter there is a careful analysis of the events, accompanied by significant iconographic documentation, in order to fully frame the effects of the events on the postal service, starting with the vain attempted conquest of 1867.
The chapters on civil and military mail of 1870 follow: also in this case the discussion appears not devoid of innovative contents and methods, from a modern historical-postal perspective, which favours the full contextualization of the document within the historical event under consideration.
There is therefore no calendar presentation of the pieces (many those who have made their material available to illustrate the volume) concerning, for example, Rome, but the same documents become testimony and transfiguration of events.
It should also be noted the handling of mail to and from foreign countries during those months and a census of the use of papal postage stamps first and later Italian ones, which again can represent an incentive for the enhancement of the items, as well as to provide new stimuli and ideas for further and in-depth research.

LE ALPI E LE VIE DELLA POSTA
DIE ALPEN UND DIE WEGE DER POST
232 pp. - colour and b/n ill. - hardbound - printed 2020
Italian and German text
This book was born from the encounter of two cultural interests of the author, the study of human settlements and of the routes across the Alps and his collecting passion for postal history.
The work describes the history of the post through the Alps crossings from the Roman period to the XIX century. It aims at giving an overall picture of a phenomenon that has affected many and different regions over the centuries, by emphasizing not only the postal history perspective but also human stories, the road network, means of transportation and hospitality places. It is a "story" based on texts, news and information collected through the years, addressed also to the reader curious in Alpine crossings.
The passages that have been connecting northern Italy with border countries for centuries are described geographically, while under a historical point of view, the postal history through the Alps ends with the beginning of the big transalpine railways, at the end of the XIX century, which "deleted" an alpine land made of routes and post stations, by carrying bags of correspondence from a plain city to another.
The first part concerns the European postal system evolution from Cursus Publicus to the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in the XIX century, and also the alternate events relevant to the transalpine road network, the means of transportation of the post across the Alps over the centuries and the hospitality history along the roads travelled by the post.
In the second part there is the history of that alpine passes that have been mandatory passages for the international postal services, for nearly two thousand years, recalling the evolution of the services and rediscovering, where possible, proofs of ancient routes and historic hospitality places where mail, goods and travellers could find a shelter during a very often adventurous trip.
The Alps have never been a barrier among people and since the time of emperor Augustus up today, thanks to their structure, the transfer of men, goods and mail has never ceased. The easy passages between one chain and another have made the history of postal relations between Po Valley in the South and central and northern European countries in the North, and the names of these Alpine crossings, often on letter-fronts, still indicate the great doors open in the Continent's heart.

DEMOCRATICThe ordinary of awakening
From the author's idea of illustrating the uses, postal and non-postal, of these stamps in the two Regency and in the seven Republican rate periods for the domestic mail, even going beyond the postal validity of 31 December 1952, without neglecting, however, the particularities and the cunning of those who used them. All completed mainly by images and captions important to the proposed purpose.
The first part is devoted to the correspondence that underwent the mixture of the several postal values of that period (Italian Kingdom, Italian Social Republic, Regency).
The second chapter is concerned with correspondence objects (letters, postcards, manuscripts, samples, etc.), then accessory services (registered letter, express, air mail, etc.) offered by the institution to allow greater speed, safety or convenience in using the postal service, and then cash services (money orders, interest-bearing bonds, etc.), complementary services (legalization of documents, notification of judicial documents, etc.)
A brief mention to the delegated services where the Post offers itself as an intermediary for the performance of operations not falling within its institutional duties.
The story of the appearance in Milan, in October 1946, of a postage stamp of the Democratic series with a face value of 10 lire, slate colour, of the type issued on 1 October 1945, known as the "fake of Milan", could not be lacking.

The text represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately. It is conceived in two separate volumes with, enclosed in the second volume, the first edition of postmarks catalogue, and now the second edition of the catalogue.
Accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people), every volume presents, besides a historical-descriptive part: offices of military and civil mail (included some unrealised), rates, postmark (all numbered, divided into chapters and in alphabetical order), postage stamps, postcards, postal traffic, forwarding routes.
In the second volume, at work conclusion, a rich annotated bibliography, an abstract in English and a complete analytical index of the two volumes.
The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa; nevertheless, the chapters about Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941.
The second volume deals with the War of Ethiopia, the Italian Empire, the second war and the immediate postwar period in those territories.
Also available with the second edition of the catalogue in the LUXURY version.

The text represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately. It is conceived in two separate volumes with, enclosed in the second volume, the first edition of postmarks catalogue, and now the second edition of the catalogue.
Accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people), every volume presents, besides a historical-descriptive part: offices of military and civil mail (included some unrealised), rates, postmark (all numbered, divided into chapters and in alphabetical order), postage stamps, postcards, postal traffic, forwarding routes.
In the second volume, at work conclusion, a rich annotated bibliography, an abstract in English and a complete analytical index of the two volumes.
The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa; nevertheless, the chapters about Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941.
The second volume deals with the War of Ethiopia, the Italian Empire, the second war and the immediate postwar period in those territories.

Italian philatelic magazines from the origins to 1945
Analysis of Italian specialized periodicals, from the origins to the end of World War II, which allowed to improve the knowledge on the oldest ones, discovering the existence of bulletins born in small localities or with a short life, and to dissect the events of the most authoritative periodicals, still today a point of reference for studies on classical philately.
In this study, periodicals that, at least in intention, had the objective of becoming a regular publication were taken into consideration; therefore, single numbers printed for philatelic events, newsletters reserved for members of the associations, auctions and sales lists, catalogues and sheets with quotations prepared by dealers have been excluded.
The book is divided into two parts: the first one contains a general excursus on the history of paper philatelic magazines up to the present day; the second one includes some chapters dedicated to the main journals, structured in such a way as to allow an exhaustive overview of the varied world of sector publications with short in-depth news for other periodicals as well. There are curiosities and anecdotes, significant for the life of the bulletin.
In each chapter there is a summary sheet with the fundamental characteristics, referring to the time of constitution:
* title and subtitle
* place and start date (any transfers or interruptions in the issues are indicated in the text);
* founder and legal manager;
* publisher (if the magazine has a publishing house);
* periodicity;
* dimensions (only very significant variations are highlighted);
* known term of the publications (with any notification if it was merged into another newspaper);
* main contributors, found or published in the magazine itself, who have succeeded in the life of the periodical;
* libraries where consultation is possible (those where the greatest number of issues is available are indicated).

from 1867 to 1917
The purpose of this contribution is to provide an updated and as complete as possible overview of all the collecting offices in the province of Belluno, starting from when, after a long Austrian period, in 1866 it became Italian, until the beginning of November 1917, because during the retreat following Caporetto defeat, all post offices and collecting offices in the province were closed.
In this study the author, using a lot of material also from other collectors and many archival data, did not limit himself to classifying the specific italics, octagonal, squared postmarks, but he went further by also taking into consideration those with large circle, squared circle and guller type.
He did not deal only with postmarks: he went deeper by explaining the functioning of these collecting offices and their evolution.
The table presented is very interesting and, above all, also applicable to many other Italian provinces and situations.
No points or rarity valuations have been assigned.

The author shows numerous documents from the prefilatelic period and the stamps starting from the legendary bull's eyes, the first stamps, letters with single and multiple frankings, cancellations with the rarest stamps (always on single stamps or letters, on judicial documents with large frankings, ...). And then the prints, the different plates, the plating ...

Study and plating of postage stamps, study of forgeries and anthology of the most famous forgers
BRIEF POSTAL HISTORY OF CARPI FROM 1786 TO 1863
This volume, complete with plates and numerous colour images, deals with the study of the plating of the Duchy of Modena Provisional Government postage stamps and the history of the main forgeries of the Duchy and Provisional Government postage stamps, including forged cancellations used.
The plating and detailed study, besides to reconstruct how the composition plates for the various printing must have been originally, above all serve to identify in a plate which individual stamps are certainly original. Those that do not find a place in the plate can be considered as uncertain and therefore worthy of further examination, before being definitively considered forgeries.
The work is accompanied by a brief history of the main forgers who have operated from 1865 onwards.
In conclusion, a short treatise on Postal History of Carpi Office, with the illustration of many letters, including a new find dated 29 January 1513, addressed to Alberto III Pio, last lord of Carpi.

1851-1862 THE POSTAL HISTORY OF TUSCANY
444 pp. - colour ill. - hardbound - printed 2021
Italian and English text
It was believed that the exhibition illustrated all the chapters of Tuscan postal history in the period 1 April 1851, the date of the Tuscan postage stamps issue, until 31 December 1862.
With effect from 1 January 1863, an Italian postal law unified the postal regulations of all the Italian provinces, putting an end to Tuscan postal history.
It is the first text that comprehensively deals with the postal use of these postage stamps and explains their use to frank Tuscan correspondence inland and abroad. It also explains the rates applied for correspondence arriving in Tuscany, thus offering a complete overview of the historical-postal situation of the period.
The book is organized in three parts:
- rates for the interior of Tuscany;
- rates of correspondence exchanged with the states of the Italian peninsula;
- rates for correspondence exchanged with foreign states beyond the Italian peninsula.
In each chapter, the evolution of postal rates and postal routes in the period 1851-1862 is presented chronologically. In this period mail was often sent without being franked; these documents, important for a complete description of the historical-postal development, are also included.
The parts illustrating the postal relations with foreign Countries present all the recorded origins and destinations.
To complete the volume, 4 analytical indexes: currencies, contract packets, conventions, postal markings.

A definitive (hopefully!) discussion
The project of the «Aisp Notebooks» continues in order to offer the deserved visibility on a specialized topic of great interest from a collecting and socio-cultural point of view, which is the study of dotted papers for the use of the blind.
This Notebook aims to demonstrate how in the past the topic has sometimes been described with inaccuracies or unclear statements: by resorting to primary sources, that is decrees, circulars, press releases, bulletins, the author has been able to clarify the obscure points.
A fundamental tool for collectors and postal history scholars, especially of the modern-contemporary period, who usually deal with correspondence for the blind in their collections, even at an exhibition level.

The work, which for the authors closes a truly broad human and research path, intends to systematize knowledge, propose it in a modern way and create a work that intends to be definitive, at least for many years: the framework that is proposed is well defined. in all its main lines and its interpretative aspects.
Historical text followed by the catalogue of the offices, with their postage stamps and examples of use and the catalogue with the summary and evaluations of the registered stamps.
The main novelty of this volume is the breadth of the context: it is not considered a subject limited in time, but a wide Mediterranean region, which has had various political (and therefore postal) regimes, from the beginning until almost contemporaneity. A broad overview of synthesis that has its roots in classical antiquity and reaches up to the last, difficult years of today's Libya.

This short monograph aims at establishing the state of the art in the search for all the forgeries by Francesco Percivalle, unused as well as on documents franked with them, here reproduced and described.
The difficulty in finding material and news is mainly due to the incredible ability shown by the forger in misleading anyone who wanted to know more details, as can be read directly in his letters, where there is no lack of imaginative descriptions and reconstructions.

Italian text
Although this stamp has been the subject of numerous studies, it is still possible to identify new and interesting aspects both in its postal history and in its technical details.
The work contains numerous topics never dealt with before, but also where already known varieties are presented, in addition to their placement on the sheet the author provides hypotheses on the causes and evolutionary processes. He also identifies the frequencies of use for the various perforations related to the plates, the time difference that separates the appearance of the "vanishing triangle" from the "vanishing angle"; he interprets the rhythmic distribution of spaces by means of graving traces designed to mark the paper size.
Important are the numerous sequences of new varieties detected for both plates with the demonstration of the appearance of the "floating" posthumously with respect to the "vanishing triangle", and the proposal of a grouping on three fundamental categories of perforators, from which the concept of "family" derives.

The ordinary that rode the waves
After the first work on correspondence and internal services, this new book deals with correspondence and services in the six tariff periods for foreign countries, once again exceeding December 31st, 1952, and in the twelve of air mail without neglecting the particularities, the cunning of those who used it, as already done for the inland.
The correspondence to foreign countries has always appeared fascinating, intriguing, almost bewitching, beautiful to look at due to the frequent presence of numerous postage stamps necessary to achieve the high rates whose variety of colours made them lively and stimulating to the eye.
The mysterious destinations to disappeared, annexes or even new-born states that oblige the collector to research and historical insights are not negligible. While on the one hand they require less classification effort as the range of postal services is more restricted, on the other they definitely engage the scholar of postal history, in particular in air mail postal rates which have numerous variables, resulting in often indecipherable franking.
The first part concerns only the items of correspondence (letters, postcards, printed matter, etc., in addition to some unusual uses), which are carried and delivered to the address indicated by the sender on the object itself or on its wrapping.
These are accompanied by the accessory and special services offered by the Post Administration, used in addition to the ordinary shipping rate in relation to the needs of the sender to ensure traceability, speed of delivery or refund in case of loss.
One chapter is deserved by the immigration of Italians abroad and in particular in France, which was among the winning powers, and still the mingling with the other ordinary issue Italy at work.
Of particular historical-postal interest, and highly sought after in the collecting sector, is the correspondence of the embassy staff forwarded in the diplomatic bag.
This is followed by the air mail service, with its many facets, and the fake 100 lire Democratic postage stamp, attributed by scholars to Percivalle.
It ends with a small space dedicated to the U.N.R.R.A. A simple testimony of the experience of these refugees in the post-war period in the lands of Salento, a region rich in welcome and hospitality.

POSTMARKS CATALOGUE
This catalogue of the postmarks of the Trento and South Tyrol regions is aimed at illustrating, in a concise form, the political and postal histories of the said regions whose territories are nowadays included in the autonomous region by the same name with special statute.
Besides the Catalogue itself with a detailed listing of the postmarks found on mail processed by 52 post offices, this volume proposes the masterful study on postal history of the late August Zoppelli, an excursus on the Menz family and its formidable archive from which a lot of letters showing postmarks, many of them rare or very rare, come.
Another appealing chapter is the one delving into the mail from the Napoleonic military campaigns that afflicted the area from 1796 to 1813. Indeed a turbulent period with a very complex postal history.
There is much more, for example a very informative chapter on postal history, rates and postmarks, postal routes, the various phases of history, the detailed listing of handwritten place of provenance information on the address side of the outgoing mail, the free-frank handstamps accompanied by a detailed and informative listing in alphabetical order, registered mail and its auxiliary postmarks used during the various administrations also with a listing in alphabetical order, and also an exhaustive listing of the various postmarks utilizing a rarity scale from very rare to very common.
A very useful bibliography concludes the impressive volume.

It focuses on the pre-philatelic history of India while comprising a comprehensive view on historical developments of all the European nations and the interacion among them. It closely ties history with postal history.
Starting with the battle of Plassey in 1757 and settling with the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent peace negotiations until around 1819, India transitioned from a multipower country to one British Rule.
The British very early realized that putting up a reliable postal system was a significant means of consolidating power; they were successful in establishing post offices and postal services even in the settlements of other European nations.
The year 1819 marks the end of this period of struggle and sees Britain as the leading power in India as well as the sole provider of domestic postal services even on the territory of the remaining European powers, which were left with no political or economic importance.
Many significant philatelic objects were gathered from collectors all around the world. Among them there are several items from archives which have never been shown before. A strong focus was given to describe them correctly and in their historical context.

The work is meant to illustrate the postal implications of the Italian military presence in the Far East, from 1861 to 1947 (from the unification of Italy until the return to China of the Tientsin Concession, following the Paris peace treaty).
The aim is to tell the story of the Italian presence that derives from the use of soldiers and/or civilians and which is accompanied by postal aspects of interest for the purposes of postal history.
The book is developed in seven parts:
- the years from 1861 to 1899: the first institutional contracts with China, with the sending of the R.N. "Magenta" (1866), up to the issue of San Mun Bay;
- the years from 1900 to 1905: the "Boxer" war (1900), with the sending of an Expeditionary Corps, the establishment of a Royal Navy Detachment in China and the creation of an Italian territorial Concession in Tientsin;
- the years from 1906 to 1914: the period preceding the outbreak of the First World War, with the Beijing-Paris car raid and the urban development of the Italian Concession of Tientsin;
- the years from 1915 to 1919: the First World War, with the story of the "Unredeemed" (who arrived in Tientsin from prison camps in Russia) and the sending of an expeditionary force to the Far East (1918/19);
- the 1920s: from the establishment in China of a battalion of sailors of the "St. Marco", to the local establishment of river companies up to air raids from Italy to Japan;
- the 1930s: from attempts to penetrate China commercially (with specific missions by the fascist government) up to the sending of a Battalion of the "Grenadiers of Savoy" at the time of the Sino-Japanese war (1937). The birth of Manchukuo;
- the 1940s: from Italy's entry into the Second World War up to the armistice of 1943 and then up to the conclusion of the conflict, with the restitution of the Tientsin Concession to China, on the basis of the Paris peace treaty of 1947.
An extensive bibliography concludes the volume.

Philatelic authors and the pandemic
With a review of the issues relevant to Covid-19
Published by USFI
The purpose of this book is to give the word to philatelic authors on the topic of the coronavirus. Spanning between memories, emotions and sensations, the texts are enriched by appropriate philatelic and postal historical references.
Promoted by the Italian Philatelic Press Union, this "Single Number" collects the testimonies of forty authors, with a single common thread, that of the pandemic, however developed in different ways, according to their own interests, knowledge, specializations. There are those who have made a general analysis, those who have described themselves as a collector stuck at home, those who have seen the consequences in prisons or in sport, those who have examined the effects on sectorial exhibitions, those who have highlighted the traces of postmarks…
The Covid-19 pandemic is an event that will remain in history and in history there will also be specific reflections and insights, some very technical and others more "light" and curious, entrusted to the printed paper by journalists and authors who write with continuity of postage stamps and postal history.
The publication is completed with a review of about 1,500 stamps, from 118 countries, issued since 2020 on the theme of the pandemic, starting from the prescriptions to stem the contagion to get to the celebration of the heroes of the first hour, up to the variants and vaccines.

Edition 2023
Almost fifteen years after the first one, this edition benefits from new discoveries that confirm or, sometimes, correct and complete the information already acquired.
The tables of this brochure describe in detail the various elements that distinguish both the single values and the sheets and booklets of the priority adhesive "labels" which, with the issue of the new ordinary series called "Posta Italiana", have closed their cycle.
These labels have attracted the attention of collectors not only for the unprecedented characteristics (at least for Italy) of printing on self-adhesive paper, the particular "perforation", of the label combined with the postage stamp, etc., but also for the continuous variations that have followed in the phase of new issues and/or reprints, including the change of the thousandth, the elimination of the Bates Italia writing (the company that created the essay), the modification of the diameter of the central disc and the font of the writings, the introduction of the acronym "Spa" "in company", the change of the printing method (from serial-type-flexographic to rotogravure) etc.
The blue label deserves a brief mention which, although it has no postal value, has fulfilled its specific role as a priority service in correspondence.
