THE ITALIAN STATE POSTAGE STAMPS
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 REDSHIRTS
IN 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.

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.

* The "show" in piazzale Loreto

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.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 1898-1941
WITH VALUATIONS UPDATE 2011

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). They have been inserted, in cameo, in every page of the catalogue, next to the previous numbering relevant to the year of the event, in every black and white photograph, in the colour tables and in the list of valuations in euro enclosed.

Catalogue with valuations

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.

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.

POSTAL RELATIONS OF ITALY IN 1800s
ITALY - SWITZERLAND
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.
