150th ANNIVERSARY OF ESTE POSTAGE STAMPS
COMMEMORATIVE EXHIBITION
Postage stamps and covers
the most important rarities of the Duchy of Modena

OFFICIAL CATALOGUE
The present catalogue illustrates fully in colour more than 1000 items exhibited, following the order of the guided route. At the beginning, the volume has been enriched with some introductory essays, and at the end with an exhaustive bibliography.

The exhibition, organized on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Este postage stamps, was anthological and at the same time educational as it showed, with postage stamps, mail and documents, what had been possible to find in private collections.

The volume starts showing how mail was sent before the introduction of postage stamps in the postal system of the Duchy, going on with essays, printers proofs of the types adopted and the franking on mail addressed to the Italian territory and abroad.

On show, also all the impressions and the cancellations used in the 32 postal offices which operated in the Duchy territory; among them some are extremely rare, besides the only known from the postal office in Zocca.

A wide part was devoted to the Risorgimento period (1859 - II War for Independence), showing all the historical and postal-historical events which had taken place in the territory.

A unique presentation was devoted to mail which reached destination in a very short time, quite impossible today even using the present technology such as trains, planes and motorways. In spite of the use of horses, before the slow post experimental trains, thanks to postal agreements between the different states, they could deliver letters sent early in the morning from Modena by the same day in Milan, Florence or Venice, by two days in Turin and by three days in Rome!

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. Furthermore, "Vaccari Magazine", whose editor is Paolo Vaccari, has also achieved excellent worldwide recognition and celebrated thirty years in 2018.
