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.

2 VOLUMES + CATALOGUE OF POSTMARKS
Work in two volumes plus catalogue, which illustrates all the Italian Military in the first world war.
After an exhausting, rigorous but narrative and very illustrated postal-historical foreword, the work catalogues all the offices of Military. It proposes for each the timeline of Italy's Unification, the postal-historical one, the life-size replica of all the postmarks known and one selection of documents, with high quality images. The first volume is about all the offices but the Division ones, dealt with in the second volume. The third volume, in smaller format, valuates all the postmark with a well-established point range.

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.

Catalogue and guide to collecting vinyl records of pop rock music produced in Italy
By means of a chronological reconstruction, the catalogue reports the market quotations of 360 complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, corresponding to more than 11,000 45 and 33 records. The work presents, with several hundreds of images, also the imaging evolution of the Italian vinyl labels of 55 record companies, further to a story "Italy in vinyl" and to 130 biographic hints of the main performers of pop rock music.
The reference is, above all in the first part, to Italy in the vinyl years, a country at the heights of its social and economic development that, by means of millions of records produced, showed to be able also to propose original and innovative musical ways, in spite of the suggestions of foreign brands.
In the second part, a lot of room is given to the performers of vinyl pop rock, with 130 biographic hints that help lovers to link record making to the artistic life of performers.
In the third and fourth part, the catalogue introduces, with hundreds of reproductions, the history and the imaging evolution of brands as protection of copyright together with the one of record companies and of their labels, giving to collectors an additional important support to identify original productions.
The fifth part, the main one, is based upon a selection of complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, with the relevant market quotations.

D.O.C.G. WINES
History and Philately
Poste Italiane wanted to introduce the Italian wine product in the world, creating a succession of issues of postage stamps that, entered between 2012 and 2016, have become an undisputable advertising vehicle of wines with a Designation of Origin and Guaranteed, produced on the whole Italian national territory.
The aim of the Authors of the present work is the contribution to the distribution of such excellence through the detailed analysis of each single postage stamp, including, from time to time, both the oenological and the historical and geographical details of each single production. Postage stamps with individual wine pictures are grouped according to the region they belong in.
To completion of each dissertation, a philatelic and wine data sheet is introduced, where the technical elements are reported, in synthetic form, relevant both to wines (vineyard, colour, taste, perfume) and to postage stamps (date of issue, artist, paper, colour and cataloguing).

Kingdom of Sardinia - Kingdom of France - Line of Spain - English Lines
Series "Steamships"
Third volume of a series of three in the works scheduled from 2013, examining all the Steamship Navigation Companies and their freighters and, particularly, the ships transporting mail in the XIX century.
This volume deals with Kingdom of Sardinia, Kingdom of France, the French Line of Algeria, the Line of Sardinia Island, the Line of Spain and the English Navigation on the Italian Coasts between 1840 and 1850. This third work continues the examination of the Navigation Companies and of their units in service on the Mediterranean Sea. Over 23,000 dates are reported, allowing to identify the specific steamship that transported mail, over 100 letters travelled by postal steamships are described, and 26 Decrees that ruled the terms of transport and the agreements between Post Managements and Companies are reported. The history is narrated of the first maritime tragedy that involved the Sardinian steamship Polluce and the Neapolitan one Mongibello; the competition is related between "Marseille Route" and "Trieste Route" to shorten of some days the communications with Indie and Great Britain.

Volume I + II and CATALOGUE OF POSTMARKS
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.

MARITIME POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS IN THE TYRRHENIAN SEA
With the cooperation of Adriano Cattani
The Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the West and the Adriatic Sea in the East have always constituted a privileged place for maritime traffic, with the routes of the Adriatic Sea depending on Venice and Trieste, whilst those of the Ligurian Sea and of the Tyrrhenian Sea depend on Marseille and Geneva.
The navigation in the Tyrrhenian Sea has always had to deal with the various isles and rocks existing along the route, besides the depth of water.
For this reason it deals with a real compulsory channel, and this is the reason why this kind of navigation can be called "coastal postal navigation", going from the beginning of the wheel propulsion navigation up to the moment when the extension of the railroads has proclaimed the end of the coastal navigation.
Divided into 12 chapters, the book deals with the following topics:
Features and events of the French Maritime Services - The ports of the Tyrrhenian Sea and postal navigation - The port of Naples - The port of Leghorn (maritime postal hub between North and South) - The port of Civitavecchia - The Geneva-Leghorn Line - The postal navigation of the Italian Administration - The Valery Frères & C.ie Company - The Ignazio and Vincenzo Florio & C. in Palermo Company - The Benucci later Calabro-Sicula Company - The Ligurian coastlines - The maritime postal communications between Sardinia and continental Italy.

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 catalogue describes in detail the launches of single rockets, with the support of technical, historical, biographic and philatelic information, and gives documented prices for the analysed items.
The chapter regarding rocket mail pioneers replaces the previous editions of 1967 and 1973 by Ellington Zwisler. Compared to them, the present edition is widened e and many results of the researches are published here for the first time.
The astronauts brought documents together with their private luggage on the occasion of all the flights to the Moon, from Apollo 11 to Apollo 16. Special handstamps of the USA mail have landed on the Moon: respectively 1 with Apollo 11 and 2 with Apollo 15. All the onboard letters of the Soviet and Russian cosmonauts are catalogued for the first time, from Sojuz 4 of January 1969 to Sojuz TMA-18M of March 2016. Many space letters have flown onboard Space Shuttles or unmanned Dragon spaceships. Chinese too have transported documents in the Space, making manned and unmanned flights. In November 1960, 28 covers onboard the spy satellite Discoverer 17 have made 30 rides around the Earth. In October 2014, documents onboard the Chinese probe Chang'e 5-T1 have made a ride around the Earth. The signatures of all the 556 astronauts from Juri Gagarin to Timothy Peake complete the work.
From the introduction by the Author:
Between the two world wars, young researchers in different countries launched rockets carrying letters and cards. Some of them undertook preliminary tests towards space travels.
They wanted to supply distant villages with mail, accelerate mail-delivery over long distances and start space travels.
For the first time on 3 October 1942, an A-4 / V-2 rocket reached a height of 84.5 km, which was considered space back then.
Later on, rocket mail flights not leaving the gravity of the Earth could not significantly contribute to rocketry and space exploration. Therefore, Pioneer-Rocket Mail ends with the end of WWII.
Space mail are letters and covers that were flown into space at an altitude of 100 km (328,084 feet): Space is defined to begin at an altitude of 100 km according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale - FAI.
Onboard covers document an event on board the space station, sometimes an event on the Earth or an anniversary. Most of them are signed by all crewmembers.
During Soviet times numerous souvenir covers with onboard postmarks were made before launch and after the landing. Many bear the signatures of the cosmonauts involved.
Not all the covers transported contain a letter inside.
At the end of 1988 a postal date stamp arrived on board the Russian Mir space station. Since then cosmonauts mark letters transported from the Earth with the date of docking of the spacecraft which transported them to the space station. Letters sent to the Earth are postmarked with the date of undocking from the space station. A board letter carries addresses and details.
Unless otherwise noted, letter means "cover with content". This includes that either the receiver is already on board the space station, or the cosmonaut writing the letter remains in space, when the letter is delivered to the Earth.

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.

BETWEEN MEMORY AND FUTURETHE CENTENARY OF THE ITALIAN NAVY GENERAL STAFF
The volume represents the most significant way to celebrate the centenary of the Italian Navy General Staff, since it outlines its identity by means a history excursus of its activities: the rich photographic patrimony, the continuous editorial production, the participation and the organization of exhibitions and conventions; everything is reconstructed on the basis of the wide documentary sources produced by the General Staff itself over its existence.

COMPENDIUM OF 130 YEARS OF LIFE
This volume offers a balanced context of the history of the Italian Navy in a limited number of pages, in order to give some synthetic and exhaustive information of the history events that have characterized its existence, for 130 years, from its birth to Gulf War. The book is not restricted to illustrate the Italian Navy policy, its naval operations and the technical features of its ships, instead it also faces topics of social and political character.
Another aspect concerns the drawing up of the work in English too, initiative through which the Italian Navy General Staff appears again on the international scene, taking Italian history outside its national borders.

With this volume, that follows the three previously published about "Sidi El Barrani", "Tobruk" and "El Alamein", the History Bureau has finished the re-elaborated version of the eight monographs, published immediately after war, relevant to the operations led by the Italian Army in North Africa from June 1940 to May 1943. Like the previous ones, also this work is not restricted to a technical and operative analysis of the operations - in this case related to the Tunisian theatre - but it extends the investigation field to the political-military aspects of both parts.

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.

Brindisi - Lecce 28 June 2014
The author, on the occasion of the Bicentenary of Carabinieri Corps (1814-2014), has published a volume narrating its history by means of documents and papers of archival interest: around 220 illustrations of period postcards of the Corps, over 70 unreleased iconographies of front correspondence and of prisoners of World War I and II.
These images document the birth of the Corps and its path in the history of Italy, the wars of Independence, the Expedition of the Thousand, the Taking of Rome, the birth of Legions, Carabinieri on the territories (Crimea, Eritrea, Somalia, Crete, Libya, Albania, Aegean Islands, Ethiopia, Ogaden, Horn of Africa), WW I and II; here included are the iconographies and the unreleased statements that characterize the history of military, whose essential part is constituted by the correspondence from Nazi-Fascist and Allied prison camps. Moreover there are numerous protagonist heroes, from Salvo D'Acquisto to the martyrs of Fiesole and of the Fosse Ardeatine to partisan carabinieri in Cephalonia and Corfu. Last but not least is the Corps in the Navy, in the Air Force and on the territory, up to the present days.

It contains more than 1300 colour reproductions of postage stamps relating to the history of astronomy, ranging from the earliest observations of the sky to modern research conducted with satellites and space probes. Many stamps illustrate the beauty and the mystery of celestial objects: galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, satellites, comets, and minor celestial bodies.
Featured are also the astronomers and astrophysicists who contributed to this marvellous story - not only Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Herschel, and Einstein but also hundreds of other minor protagonists who played an important role in the development of this, the most ancient yet the most modern of all the sciences.

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.

(THE FRUIT OF PARADISE978-88-85335-17-2
history and culture of Vignola cherries)
"Anyone who has passed, at least once in his life, through the streets of Vignola, during the month of April, cannot surely forget the blossoming of cherry trees, those little fragile petals which transform the country completely, giving it a "paradisiac" aspect.
… It is also a recognition to everyone who has contributed to the making of its epic. A history more than one century long, involving thousands of people; however, up to now, it has remained isolated within technical studies, section analysis, reports written by experts for experts, unknown, therefore, to the general public."
Vignola and its cherries have lived side by side through last century; the history of the town identifies, from the middle of 1800, with the growth of the cherries production in the Panaro Valley.
Nonetheless, among cultural publications about Vignola there was no book on cherries.
The authors have recreated a sort of historical compendium about Vignola during last century, about people who have contributed to the economic boom of the Panaro Valley, and their brilliance in generating, besides the agronomic event, a series of industrial and technological activities which still represents the most important part of the economy of the region.
In appendix, there is a nice anecdotal and encyclopaedic dictionary on cherries (illustrated by Maria Claudia Di Genova) for the ones who are not familiar with the language of cherries or want to know curiosities and secrets.

ITALIAN MUNICIPAL STAMPS978-88-85335-66-0
From their introduction to the end of 1881
Translation from the original text, published in France in 1883, about fiscal stamps issued by the Italian municipalities from 1865, the year of their introduction to collect taxes, to 1881.
Since the issue of fiscal stamps was not regulated by official decrees, there are not many official documents like decrees, notes addressed to the public, or handwritten regulations. The important pieces of information in this volume are, therefore, the result of research and analysis of documents such as letters and invoices of printers and engravers, and verbal reports by municipalities attendants.
The fiscal stamps are presented in alphabetical order and by region, following the subdivision of the Kingdom of Italy of the time (Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Venetias, Emilia, Marches, Umbria, Tuscany, Latium, Abruzzi and Molise, Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, Sardinia), with the reproduction and a technical-descriptive table. At the end of the volume there are two indexes, one in alphabetical order and the other divided by region.

POSTAL RELATIONS OF ITALY IN 1800sITALY - FRANCE
Postal conventions and rates
Annotated list of mail in the philatelic period
This is the second volume of a series devoted to postal relations between Italy and foreign countries during the XIX century, specifically from 1850 to 1875, a quarter of century from the introduction of postage stamps in Italy to the creation of the Universal Postal Union. It is a key period, as there was a great progress in communications and the many postal conventions signed led to the unitary rate of 1875.
The work considers the whole XIX century, because it is after Napoleon's fall and the position of Italy decided by the Congress of Vienna that the idea of a renewal of postal services arose. There were the first bilateral postal conventions intended to make the forwarding of mail between the states easier, safer, and cheaper for users.
Italian postal history has been progressing during last decades, above all the study of postal conventions and rates of Italian Ancient States, Kingdom and Republic. A bit less studied the relations with foreign countries which were based - as it is known - on bilateral conventions and agreements, and sometimes on implied consent or on usual temporary procedures.
The aim of this volume, of the previous one about relations between Italy and Switzerland, and of the following ones, is that of giving a uniform picture of known or never published details relevant to conventions and rates in postal communications between Italy and foreign countries in the XIX century.
Particular attention has been given to the annotated list of mail known in the philatelic period: information comes from auction catalogues, price lists, collections and different publications. This is not a comprehensive list; however, through the description of each item, accompanied by philatelic notes, routes, postmarks and rates, collectors can have all the details relevant to the mail under examination. Moreover, the list is very useful from a statistical point of view: it illustrates postal communications between each Italian state and foreign countries, in this specific volume between each Italian state and France.
Some particularly important letters and postal documents have been selected and reproduced in colour in the tables at the beginning of the book, in order to give a picture of mail under examination.

Editorial consultant Maurizio PaglianoThe most significant milestones in the development of Italian bomber aircraft, a celebration of Gianni Caproni, the foresighted constructor of those early wings, synonymous with "strategic bombing".
The complete history of this complex all-Italian aircraft from the design phase to the completion of the prototype, from the results of the first test flights until acceptance by the military administration, continuing later with the demanding phase of national production and concluding with the operational service of the various versions. In the most organic presentation possible, an examination was made of all the most important facts which led to the creation and development of these aeroplanes, and all their individual technical characteristics, together with an ordered study of the production figures.
Great emphasis was placed on the photographic documentation, in the main previously unpublished, and which, better than any document, illustrates the evolution of the Caproni biplane and triplane bombers.
Constant and fundamental support was provided by the Caproni Family, who placed documents and photographic material at disposition.
The text and the original structure of the work, published in 1970, have been in part reworked or modified, and now incorporates some new sections, such as an English translation, the replacement of many illustrations, updated captions, and a colour photographic appendix.
The volume appears in the period of the major celebrations of the 150 years of Italian Unity, and the 1915-1918 war is considered by many experts to be the fourth war of independence. However, research works like this stand apart from simple anniversaries, and contribute to the recording of the design and entrepreneurial capabilities of a man like Gianni Caproni, born at Arco, in the Trentino, territory then in the possession of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and who elected to become Italian and make his contribution to the victory of the Tricolour.

FOREWORD by Maurizio Pagliano
In Italian aviation circles, the First World War, which saw Italy enter the field on 24 May 1915 alongside the forces of the Triple Entente against the Central Empire, brings to mind above all two types of aircraft, the S.V.A. and the Caproni. The first, as will be recalled, was a reconnaissance and light bomber biplane designed by ingegneri Umberto Savoia and Rodolfo Verduzio and manufactured by Ansaldo, which entered service with operational units at the beginning of 1918. The second, with its characteristic tri-motor formula, was conceived and produced by ingegner Gianni Caproni, and became synonymous with strategic bombing, a definition which must, however, take account of the technological and doctrinaire parameters of the era.
This volume, written by Giorgio Apostolo and Rosario Abate, two established experts in the sector, describes the history of this complex all-Italian aircraft from the design phase to the prototype, from the results of the first test flights until acceptance by the military administration, then the demanding phase of national production and the operational service of the various versions. Published for the first time in 1970, it is re-launched after some forty years in a new edition promoted by the Vaccari publishing house which, amongst other projects, is engaged in reissuing works which for some time have not been available from libraries or publishing companies.
In my second forty years of activity in the editorial field I continue to demand of the authors the application of some basic principals which have always guided me through the profession, and which can be summed up as: intellectual honesty, knowledge of the subject, balanced opinions, and civility in terms of humans relationships. Assumed are the ability to write, and the desire to be read. I should add that in works of a technical nature like this there is no space for ideological interpretations of any kind; it is the numerical data that assumes overwhelming value, and this must be the foundations for a realistic picture of the situation. These are important characteristics, which are distinguishing features of the books with the signatures of Apostolo and Abate.
The volume appears in the period of the major celebrations of the 150 years of Italian Unity, and the 1915-1918 war is considered by many experts to be the fourth war of independence. However, research works like this stand apart from simple anniversaries, and contribute to the recording of the design and entrepreneurial capabilities of a man like Gianni Caproni, born at Arco, in the Trentino, territory then in the possession of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and who elected to become Italian and make his contribution to the victory of the Tricolour.
There is a letter, reproduced in its original English in the book, dated 11 February 1919, and addressed to Inginiere [sic] Caproni: "My Dear Sir, in the name of the American Expeditionary Forces, I desire to express to you our appreciation of all that you have accomplished in the realm of the Allied aviation during the war. Your name is of course well known to all of us as an inventor of marked genius, but will be especially remembered by those officers with whom you came in contact on account of the sympathetic understanding and friendship which you always displayed toward the United States. Your untiring efforts and unfailing interest were of the greatest help to us in the development of our Air Service.
I am sure that I voice the sentiments of all when I say to you that among our officers and men you will ever find in the United States the same warm welcome and the same friendship which you have shown to us in your own land of Italy".
It was signed by General John Joseph Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe.

Rosario Abate obtained a Phisician degree at Catania University and moved to North Italy. He started writing about avation in 1953. Since then his works have appeared in numerous journals in Italy and abroad. His books include a story of the Italian aviation, the story of the Caproni Aeronautica Bergamasca company and Aeroplani Caproni (with Alegi and Apostolo). He passed away in Milan in 2004.
Giorgio Apostolo became interested in aviation in 1950 launching an intensive career which continues to these days. A contributing editor of several aerospace journals, he has authored many publications, books and serials. For many years he edited the historical magazine «Aerofan» and he is owner of a specialized publishing house.

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".

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". 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.

PIONEERS OF AVIATION IN ITALY 1908-1914with update notes, with references to the Catalogue of "Aerofilia italiana", and errata by Fiorenzo Longhi
The work written by Mario Cobianchi, pioneer of Italian aviation, has been updated and enriched thanks to the several comments and the errata, included as foot notes, by Fiorenzo Longhi, one of the masters of Italian Aerophilately.
The volume by Cobianchi, published in 1943 and difficult to be found since long, "encyclopaedia" about the pioneering period of flight in Italy, is rich in information and documents gathered by the author himself, rare and historical illustrations of air tracks, drill grounds, postcards and photographs, flight attempts and experiments, aviation competitions and shows, flight forerunners, aircrafts.
It describes, day by day, all the aviation events of the pioneering period, whose end is internationally fixed in 1914, with dates and names of flight competitions, pilots and winners, flight licences of Italians, both military men and civilians, position in Europe, aircraft building factories, heroic experiments, pioneers' accidents (unfortunately some deadly).

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.
Patterns reproduction, layout and graphics by Gianluigi Roncetti. English translation by Lucio Bertolazzi.

The "Postal rates of the Italian territories" by Benito Carobene is the second part of the work published in 2005 with the Italian rates from 1863 to 2000. It takes into consideration all the rates in force during the period of use of the postage stamps issued in that period and used in Italy or in the Italian area. Services included are those relevant only to mail. No air mail. The examination covers the period from 1 March 1861 or 1 April 1879 (abroad) to 2000.
The "Catalogue of Italian military postmarks in the first world war" by Beniamino Cadioli lists all the circle postmarks, mainly the date metal ones, with some exception, that is those used as cancellers of postage stamps or used in transit on mail, generally by the military depots. No Navy. Some quotations are included.

Volume VII - Sixth Update 1994-1998
With the introduction by Massimo Sarmi (Chief Executive Officer of Poste Italiane) and by Marisa Giannini (Director of the Philately Division of Poste Italiane).
The present volume, with its impressive historical research and its elegant graphics, is the sixth update of the volume by Luigi Piloni, of the series about the Italian state postage stamps which covers the period 1862-2006.
This one includes a cataloguing of stamped postal papers issued from 1994 to 1998; therefore, also of last issues to indicate their face value only in the Italian national currency.
The period documented represents a particularly important new stage in the history of Poste Italiane: in 1998, the company became a public limited company; in the same year, the Philately Division was set up and given responsibility for stamp collection, with the aim of optimising and developing the reputation of Italian philately, particularly in Europe.
The historical, artistic and bibliographical profiles for each issue, the subject indexes and the collection of legislative measures form an added value for this work.

THE REDSHIRTSIN THE BALKAN WAR
CAMPAIGN IN EPIRUS 1912
With the cooperation of Annita Garibaldi Jallet and of the Museum of Villa Garibaldi in Riofreddo (Rome).
Many thanks to the National Committee for Celebrations of the Bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi's birth.
Foreword by Annita Garibaldi Jallet.
Garibaldis and their topicality, conversation with Annita Garibaldi Jallet by Fabio Bonacina.
Introduction by Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi.
On the occasion of the birth bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the "hero of the two worlds", a volume written by his son, Ricciotti Garibaldi. New edition of the work published in 1915, in which the author describes the military background and the participation of the Italian volunteers under his command in the first Balkan war in Greece.
It was in the operations towards Ioannina that Ricciotti's "redshirts" took part, and particularly in the battle in Drisko (small town in the area). Subject of the volume the antecedent facts, the battle in Drisko, the following events, the epilogue, that is the adventure of "redshirts" in Epirus in 1912. Moreover, a whole chapter is devoted to the Italian Red Cross, who accompanied and assisted the Redshirts with their precious work, with the help of the Greek Blue Cross too. Constance Garibaldi, Ricciotti's wife, and Inspector of the Red Cross, in a long letter tells about some particularly touching episodes.
The author, who led the campaign, and is therefore also protagonist of the story, writes in the first person a mix between an account and memoirs, quite a technical report accompanied by many documents which testify the happenings told (one of the reasons which led the editor to publish a new edition of the work). There is the romantic myth of Hellenism; the civilian myth of the volunteer "redshirts"; comments on the volunteer troops; the sense of comradeship but also of boldness.
Thanks to this volume, readers can now realize what kind of war it was, the extent of armed forces and fire, but also the "spirit" of that campaign. A picture of an event which remained in Italian memory.

Ricciotti was born in Montevideo in 1847, fourth born of Giuseppe Garibaldi and Ana Maria de Jesus Ribeiro.
From 1866 he distinguishes himself on the battlefields. When his father dies, in 1882, he wants to collect his moral heritage, the values of military voluntary service and of philhellenism which belonged to Garibaldian tradition. It is Greece which gives him the possibility to revive the tradition of Garibaldi's "Redshirts", already from 1897. The General Ricciotti succeeds in realising his true inclination: at the head of new Garibaldian volunteers, he creates a new military tradition, which intervenes in favour of peoples' freedom, and pays attention to the values of heroism and sacrifice in the name of a nation.
He dies in Riofreddo (Rome) in 1924.

29/30 August 1957 - 2007
From Cerro Maggiore to Predappio: Benito Mussolini's last "journey"
Where did Benito Mussolini's corpse disappear after Piazzale Loreto?
For eleven years the Italian Republic kept it hidden from enemies and Neofascists, using the monastery of Capuchin friars in Cerro Maggiore (Milan).
The author, Fabio Bonacina, carried on a useful investigation to follow the events through documents and several testimonies from people who lived those years as protagonists or simple witnesses, and through the many postcards with the images relevant to those events.

IN ITALIAN
Il saggio di Fabio Bonacina narra le vicende della salma di un uomo, per vent'anni al centro della storia d'Italia, che giunse, dopo le drammatiche vicende di Giulino e di piazzale Loreto, in un piccolo e, diciamolo pure, sconosciuto ai più, paese della provincia milanese.
Il libro è già alla sua seconda edizione a dimostrazione che le vicende narrate hanno suscitato un interesse che ha travalicato i confini locali.
Le recensioni alla prima edizione hanno trovato spazio sui media nazionali e il saggio è stato citato nella bibliografia di altri lavori. Un esemplare del libro è conservato alla Biblioteca del Congresso degli Stati Uniti. Persino una pièce teatrale si è ispirata alle vicende narrate nel libro.
In effetti la ricerca ha il pregio di aver colmato un vuoto storico e a oggi rimane l'unico testo che ricostruisce in maniera esemplare e minuziosa le vicende della «Salma nascosta».
Esso è quindi strumento indispensabile allo studioso, ma la sua lettura è di sicuro interesse anche al semplice appassionato di storia che avrà modo di conoscere una vicenda che a tratti assume i contorni di un giallo.
Ormai i protagonisti di quegli anni sono quasi tutti scomparsi. Nel suo piccolo, come uno scrigno, questo lavoro raccoglie frammenti di vita di uomini semplici, come il fotografo Igino Braghin o la balia Enrichetta Rotondi. Uomini e donne che non recitarono sul palcoscenico della storia, ma più semplicemente nella quotidianità delle loro famiglie e del loro paese. Ricordarli è un doveroso atto di affetto della nostra Comunità. Ecco perché questo non è solo il libro della salma di Mussolini, ma anche il loro.

Catalogue of air mail from and to the whole world. Story of Italian Civil Aviation and Air Mail through postal and complementary documents. The author makes a vast analysis, reports the reasons for every flight or show, the dates, the pilots' names. He takes into consideration not only air mail documents but also commemorative postcards, private cancels, propaganda handstamps.
In this new edition, several chapters and events have been completely revised and reorganised. Thanks to new findings, the information contained in the previous edition has been updated, both forerunners (1898-1914) and following historical periods. Some topics have been increased (for example, postal flights of 1917-1919 and of M1 and F6 dirigibles, the flights of Italian pilots abroad and of foreign pilots in Italy, Italian and foreign air lines operating in Italy, the flights of Norge and Italia, the Cruises of De Pinedo and Balbo, the flights of Francis Lombardi, L.A.T.I. and newspapers travelled by air). New subjects have been added.
Rates - In the first edition they were not included. In the present one they have been introduced starting from SISA flights in 1926, every special flight (Rome-Buenos Aires, Rome-Mogadishu, etc.), L.A.T.I. ones.
To make search easier, besides the numbering already existing, new progressive numbers have been added (from no.1 to 4.089).

Over the years a lot of important collections have been examined as well as numerous submissions from collectors and lovers have been received.
That has allowed to update the over 75,000 pieces of data contained in this catalogue, which present about 7,000 variations compared with the previous edition. This amount may appear very high; however, one must keep in mind that this sector of cancellations, since the publishing of the Ricci - Vaccari edition of 1992, has kept expanding among the collectors and consequently the research has grown more and more, leading to the discovery of material which had been neglected for years.
In this edition, the historical section has been revised as well and is now totally in colour, even if it has not been necessary to change the text in its substance. The illustration section has been completely changed so that it will be easier to recognize the type of the nominal cancellations which went together with the numeral ones, thanks to the colour pictures.

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".

POSTAL RELATIONS OF ITALY IN 1800s978-88-85335-81-3

Postal conventions and rates
Annotated list of mail in the philatelic period
This is the first volume of a series devoted to postal relations between Italy and foreign countries in 1800s, particularly from 1850 to 1875.
Italian postal history has been progressing a lot during the last decades, above all the study of conventions and rates of Italian States, Kingdom and Republic. Not the same as to relations with foreign countries, which were based on bilateral agreements and sometimes on tacit consent or temporary usual procedures.
The aim of this work is that of creating a uniform collection of known and new details relevant to conventions and rates adopted in postal communications between Italy and foreign countries during the 1800s.
Particular care has been given to the annotated list of letters known in the philatelic period; information and descriptions, as it is possible to see in each entry, come from auction catalogues, lists, collections and several publications. It is not a comprehensive list; however, thanks to the descriptions for every letter accompanied by philatelic notes, routings, postmarks and rates, collectors can get all the elements relevant to a specific postal item. Moreover, the list is very useful for statistics: it gives an idea, though incomplete, of mail movements between every Italian State and foreign countries, and in the present volume between every Italian State and Switzerland.
Some particularly important letters and postal documents have been selected and reproduced in colour in the tables at the beginning of the book, in order to give a picture of mail under examination.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

PROTAGONISTEN, DIE REISEN
Dieses Werk befasst sich mit den 104 Auslandsreisen, die der Stellvertreter Christi während seines langen Pontifikats gemäß den Kriterien des Heiligen Stuhls auf sich genommen hat.
Jeder Reise ist in chronologischer Reihenfolge ein Kapitel gewidmet, das die anlässlich dieses Ereignisses erschienen Briefmarken detailliert und, wenn möglich, der Reiseroute des Papstes folgend vorstellt. Es werden sowohl die Ausgaben wiedergegeben und beschrieben, die von den Gastländern herausgegeben wurden, als auch am Ende des jeweiligen Kapitels die des Vatikans, die anlässlich der gleichen Reise erschienen sind.
Die Untersuchung bezüglich der in den Gastländern erschienen Briefmarken betrifft den Zeitraum unmittelbar vor und nach dem Besuch bis etwa ein Jahr nach dem Ereignis: Verschiedene Länder bevorzugen es eher, den Besuch im Nachhinein zu würdigen, als diesen im Vorhinein anzukündigen. In einigen Fällen wird der Besuch sowohl vor als auch nach dem Besuch geehrt.
Der Vatikan verfolgt jedoch eine andere Tradition, die sich im Übrigen stets bewährt hat: er wartet eine gewisse Zeit - im Allgemeinen ein bis zwei Jahre - und bringt dann einen Gedenksatz heraus, in dem jeder Reise normalerweise eine Briefmarke gewidmet ist. Die 1999 unternommenen fünf Reisen (Mexiko, Vereinigte Staaten, Rumänien, Polen, Slowenien, Indien und Georgien) wurden z.B. am 1. September 200 mit Stücken gleicher Zahl zelebriert. In einigen Fällen werden, wie am 3. Dezember 1981, allgemeinere Themen hinzugefügt: neben den im Vorjahr unternommenen Stationen ist das päpstliche Wappen (50-Lire-Briefmarke) oder Seine Heiligkeit bei der Erteilung des Segens (900-Lire-Briefmarke) abgebildet.
Zum Zwecke der Einrahmung des historisch bedeutenden Moments und der Angabe einiger weiterführender Details zur Bewertung der Reise und der Umstände, unter denen diese stattfand, wird ferner ein zusammenfassender Besuchsbericht entsprechend den Äußerungen von Journalisten, bzw. nachfolgend von Experten, wiedergegeben.
NICHT NUR PASTORALASPEKTE
Der Wunsch bei der Erstellung dieser Sammlung war der, einen Schritt weiter zu gehen. Verschiedene Aufenthalte waren durch ein Thema, bzw. mehrere Themen von herausragender Bedeutung gekennzeichnet, deren mittels der Herausgabe von Briefmarken um den Zeitraum des Papstbesuches gedacht wurde.
Historische Jahrestage, Ereignisse und religiöse Feierlichkeiten scheinen gerne hervorgehoben zu werden: Sie stehen nicht in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang mit dem Papstbesuch - auch wenn sie den Papst selber betreffen - können aber zum besseren Verständnis des Kontextes beitragen.
Der ersten Etappe in Argentinien vom 10. bis zum 13. Juni 1982 liegt ein Hauptgedanke zu Grunde: der Vermittlungsversuch zwischen Buenos Aires und London, die durch den blutigen Falkland-Malwinen-Konflikt geteilt waren. Der südamerikanische Staat unterstreicht selbstverständlicherweise den Besuch der Bischofs von Rom am 12. Juni. Zum besseren Verständnis dienen jedoch auch die Ausgaben, wie die vom 22. April, auf denen die Inseln als argentinisch angegeben sind.
Ein weiteres Beispiel: Zwischen dem 6. und dem 16. Oktober besucht der Pilger in genannter Reihenfolge Südkorea, Indonesien und Mauritius. Seoul gedenkt dieses Besuches nicht mit spezifischen Briefmarken. Doch genau am 4. Oktober gedenkt Korea des 44. Internationalen Eucharistischen Kongress, der von der asiatischen Hauptstadt organisiert wurde und an der der Papst teilnahm, mit einer 80-Won-Briefmarke.
BEZÜGE FÜR SAMMLER
Der Band trägt allen von den jeweiligen Ländern herausgegebenen amtlichen Briefmarken und Blöcken Rechnung.
Zum Zwecke der Vereinfachung der Briefmarkensuche seitens der Sammler, ist für jede Briefmarke in alphabetischer Reihenfolge die entsprechende Nummerierung der Michel-, Scott-, Unificato- und Yvert & Tellier-Kataloge, die uns freundlicherweise dazu ermächtigt haben, angegeben.
Ferner sie an dieser Stelle gesagt, dass keine Wertschätzungen der beschriebenen und/oder abgedruckten Stücke angegeben ist; hier ist Bezug auf genannte Kataloge zu nehmen.

REVENUE STAMPS OF ITALY 1863-1957 AND OF ITALIAN COLONIES IN AFRICA 1911-1943 - Postal and fiscal use - Catalogue with valuations978-88-85335-74-5
Valuations in Euro for unused, and for postal and fiscal use.
Exhaustive work, updated and revised (200 pages more), which presents all the revenue stamps of the Kingdom of Italy and the first period of the Italian Republic from 1863 to 1957, and of the Italian colonies in Africa (Libya, Eritrea, Somalia), for the first time in a catalogue. Reproductions are full size.
Every issue is accompanied by a short description of the revenues, reproduced in natural size, and by the relevant issue decrees which give important information about the reasons why they were issued and their characteristics. Postal and fiscal documents are a valuable testimony for the facts and events which took place in Italy.
The analysis of the revenues is carried out both on their postal use and their fiscal use. Valuations have been updated, expressed in Euro, and accompanied by their rarity degree. The present work is the most specialized catalogue in that it records quotations for unused revenue stamps, but also for their postal and fiscal use.
New division in seven parts, all of them updated and increased. Each chapter deals with a specific function: fixed rate revenue stamps, for government licences and administrative acts, for bills of exchange, for luxury objects and trade, for general turnover tax, for transport of goods by motor vehicles, for Italian colonies in Africa.
IMPORTANT CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO PREVIOUS EDITIONS:
- updates and additions in the old chapters;
- addition of new studies, never published before, on revenue stamps for government licences and administrative acts and for Italian colonies in Africa;
- valuation updating for unused, postal use, fiscal use;
- change of valuations in Euro.
What's for FISCALFILIA?
by Fortunato Marchetto
italian text
Fiscalfilia: neologismo appropriato a raccogliere sotto un'unica parola tutte le nuove ricerche sulla storia fiscale riguardante gli usi della carta bollata e delle marche da bollo.
FISCALFILIA, infatti, significa ricerca e studio dei modi e dei mezzi usati per il pagamento delle tasse o diritti di bollo. "Il bollo è di due specie: ordinario e straordinario".
Due sono le leggi fondamentali concernenti le modalità di pagamento delle tasse di bollo.
La prima "Legge sulle tasse di bollo" del 21 aprile 1862, N° 586, recita:
"È dovuta una tassa di bollo per la carta destinata agli atti pubblici", quando se ne fa uso.
Questa legge portò alla formazione delle varie carte bollate all'ordinario.
La seconda legge, N° 949, del 14 settembre 1862, colla quale è prescritto l'uso delle marche da bollo "per la soddisfazione delle tasse di bollo straordinario", portò, invece, alla formazione delle prime marche da bollo a tassa fissa e di quelle per i foglietti delle cambiali, da usare obbligatoriamente per il pagamento del bollo straordinario.
Le carte, soggette alla tassa di bollo ordinario, o straordinario, sono:
a) la carta per gli atti civili, giudiziali ed amministrativi;
b) la carta per gli atti e documenti commerciali;
c) la carta o foglietto per cambiali.
Pertanto i modi ed i mezzi idonei, legalmente, al pagamento delle tasse di bollo sono: la carta bollata e le marche da bollo.
L'art. 13 della legge N° 586, però, recita, inoltre, che:
"In mancanza di bolli ordinari e straordinari si supplirà col - Visto per bollo -".
Tuttavia, per rendere bollata la carta usata per la stesura di un documento, avente bollatura fiscale insufficiente o mancante, furono apposti ed accettati dai pubblici uffici, oltre le marche da bollo, anche francobolli, sia a complemento, sia in sostituzione del bollo.
Viceversa, furono usate, su documenti postali, marche da bollo di vari tipi, a complemento od in sostituzione dell'affrancatura con francobolli insufficienti o mancanti.
Dunque, la carta bollata, le marche da bollo ed i francobolli sono le uniche monete cartacee usate e necessarie per presentare e fare accettare presso la pubblica amministrazione la maggior parte dei documenti per atti civili, giudiziari, amministrativi e postali.
La ricerca, lo studio, la classificazione e la collezione di questi documenti, con il loro intreccio di combinazioni tra carta bollata, marche da bollo e francobolli, è oggetto della Fiscalfilia.

Fiscalfilia: neologismo appropriato a raccogliere sotto un'unica parola tutte le nuove ricerche sulla storia fiscale riguardante gli usi della carta bollata e delle marche da bollo.
FISCALFILIA, infatti, significa ricerca e studio dei modi e dei mezzi usati per il pagamento delle tasse o diritti di bollo. "Il bollo è di due specie: ordinario e straordinario".
Due sono le leggi fondamentali concernenti le modalità di pagamento delle tasse di bollo.
La prima "Legge sulle tasse di bollo" del 21 aprile 1862, N° 586, recita:
"È dovuta una tassa di bollo per la carta destinata agli atti pubblici", quando se ne fa uso.
Questa legge portò alla formazione delle varie carte bollate all'ordinario.
La seconda legge, N° 949, del 14 settembre 1862, colla quale è prescritto l'uso delle marche da bollo "per la soddisfazione delle tasse di bollo straordinario", portò, invece, alla formazione delle prime marche da bollo a tassa fissa e di quelle per i foglietti delle cambiali, da usare obbligatoriamente per il pagamento del bollo straordinario.
Le carte, soggette alla tassa di bollo ordinario, o straordinario, sono:
a) la carta per gli atti civili, giudiziali ed amministrativi;
b) la carta per gli atti e documenti commerciali;
c) la carta o foglietto per cambiali.
Pertanto i modi ed i mezzi idonei, legalmente, al pagamento delle tasse di bollo sono: la carta bollata e le marche da bollo.
L'art. 13 della legge N° 586, però, recita, inoltre, che:
"In mancanza di bolli ordinari e straordinari si supplirà col - Visto per bollo -".
Tuttavia, per rendere bollata la carta usata per la stesura di un documento, avente bollatura fiscale insufficiente o mancante, furono apposti ed accettati dai pubblici uffici, oltre le marche da bollo, anche francobolli, sia a complemento, sia in sostituzione del bollo.
Viceversa, furono usate, su documenti postali, marche da bollo di vari tipi, a complemento od in sostituzione dell'affrancatura con francobolli insufficienti o mancanti.
Dunque, la carta bollata, le marche da bollo ed i francobolli sono le uniche monete cartacee usate e necessarie per presentare e fare accettare presso la pubblica amministrazione la maggior parte dei documenti per atti civili, giudiziari, amministrativi e postali.
La ricerca, lo studio, la classificazione e la collezione di questi documenti, con il loro intreccio di combinazioni tra carta bollata, marche da bollo e francobolli, è oggetto della Fiscalfilia.

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.

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.

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.
