JOHN PAUL II
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 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.

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 valuations

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.

Le occasioni più comuni nelle quali s'incontrano
Filatelia e Fiscalfilia sono costituite:
a) da documenti postali nei quali al posto dei francobolli o a complemento degli stessi insufficienti a soddisfare la tariffa richiesta, vengono applicate marche da bollo (fiscalfilia);
b) da documenti fiscali nei quali il pagamento delle tasse di bollo avviene, in tutto od in parte, mediante l'uso di francobolli (fiscalfilatelia o filatelia fiscale).
(Il tutto proibito ed illegale, ma raramente penalizzato).
