THE COAST DEFENCE OF THE STATE OF THE ROYAL PROTECTIONS OF TUSCANY FROM XVI TO XIX CENTURY

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.

The idea of a book presenting the Postal History of Tuscany came to the authors after the presentation of Vittorio Morani's collection at the "Royal Philatelic Society London".
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.
