New edition of the catalogue on Italian perfins.
Since the publication of the first catalogue in 2000 and of its update in 2005, both sold out, it has been a continuous discovery of new patterns and of new users of old or new perfins, not to mention ampler utilization periods of time and additional detailed information.
All the patterns known are now collected in the present work, illustrated by original shape and dimensions, each one accompanied by useful details (name of user and activity, place and period of use, number given by other catalogues).
A very exhaustive introduction explains the origins, usage and way of collecting perfins.

Enclosed, 32 plates, on transparent drafting paper. The 1107 patterns known have been inserted full size in boxes, in alphabetical order, with their relevant catalogue number. The plates are a really precious tool to facilitate cataloguing the perfins on documents or on fragments, a task that is often made difficult by the scarce visibility of the little holes and by the inverted and/or reversed position of the pattern.
It will suffice to select the reference pattern the closest to the perforation to be identified, and to place it onto the perfin examined, in the same position, either upright, or inverted, or reversed. When the position of the holes of the reference template coincides with the original, one will be sure of the correct classification of the specimen.

Enclosed even a CD with 608 colour reproductions of documents franked with perfins, each one with the reference to the pattern in the catalogue.

THE COLLECTION
OF FONDAZIONE BANCO DI SICILIA
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 - 1831

The 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.

HISTORY OF POSTAL COMMUNICATION IN THE ISLE OF SARDINIA
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.
