EDITORIAL
Vaccari Magazine n.68 - 2022

I never wanted to write and sign this editorial in my dad's place.
A long story, that of the Magazine, which could have continued but, by his will, ends here.
I thank personally and also on behalf of my dad (I know he would have done so) all of our writers, many of whom have collaborated with the magazine since the first issue in 1989; all the subscribers and readers who have been following and supporting us.
I thank those who believed in this forward-looking project and published their own advertisements.
I thank all the editorial staff, Francesca who started and Claudia who continued, the makers-up Katia and then Federica. And the typography that accompanied us from the beginning.
A great adventure dad, which I will miss a lot, especially because that was with you.
In this issue some pages are dedicated to him.

Many of the authors had already sent the material for next issue, because the full article would have been divided into several parts. I therefore thought it was right to create a special issue, last one, with more pages than those which characterize the other 67 magazines, to be able to accommodate everything received so far.

Unfortunately, some of the studies divided into many parts will not find a conclusion.
Giuseppe Buffagni, in this second part on the cancellations of the Este States, presents the offices of Camporgiano, Carpi, Carpineti and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana; Flavio Riccitelli reaches the nineteenth part with the regular postal service of the L.A.T.I. on the South Atlantic route developing Paraguay.

Lorenzo Carra, instead, comes to a point with the year 1866 and the end of the Lombardy Venetia Kingdom, in his analysis of relations with the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1815. Last part also for Giorgio De Signoribus, on the late use of the overprinted "P.M." of the first issue (11.9.1942) for civil correspondence in Italy, and for Marco Occhipinti who, with the correspondence of political internees, takes us to Belvedere Marittimo and Cerchiara di Calabria.

Among the new authors there are two long-standing collaborators who, however, are now signing their own contribution: Giacomo Bottacchi joins again, albeit ideally, an original strip of four of Sardinia cent.5 (issue 1.10.1853) after more than a century and a half; Mario Serone, together with Benjamin Bernstein and Massimiliano Ferroni, proposes a review of the most interesting colours of the first issue of Lombardy Venetia.
New are also Enrico Dallara, who analyses the signs of disinfection on letters from Genoa area and Alta Lunigiana according to the health rules of Parma post; Piergiorgio Lunati, who follows the construction of the Frejus tunnel and the contemporary use of the line mark "Tunnel Moncenisio"; Francesco Luraschi, who, with Luca Savini, tells us about when a postmark, the Milan circle with date and hour, becomes a state affair.

Rosalba Pigini offers us a brief report on "FilateliCa 2022". Fabio Bonacina retraces the evolution of mailboxes showing some curiosities. Carlo Giovanardi investigates between Fiume and Lucca starting from a small noun.
Emilio Simonazzi rediscovers a letter from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Duchy of Modena of which not only traces had been lost but few had been aware of it. Stefano Alessio proposes a funny, colourful and engaging, partly unusual, collection of Sardinia.
Marco De Biasi illustrates Belluno double circle cancellations with moustache; Heinrich Stumvoll the smallest postmark in Venice, the Roman capitals one in black and red.
Antonello Fumu passes through the port of Alexandria in Egypt departing for and arriving from the East Indies (1850-1871). Massimo Moritsch examines the treatment of Tuscan letters addressed to Alexandria in Egypt (1836-philatelic period), and, with Roberto Quondamatteo, letters with insufficient franking from the Papal State to the Kingdom of Italy (1.10.1867-31.10.1870).
Mario Mentaschi and Giovanni Nembrini study the rates for printed matter during the period of the Post General Union (1.7.1875-31.3.1879), and Gianluigi Maria Forti sea and land transports during the reigns of Carlo Alberto and Vittorio Emanuele II.

Signed by Paolo Vaccari, the opening column dedicated to the somewhat particular "items" of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, and two "first day" letters relevant to the Kingdom of Naples and the Naples Provinces.

EDITORIAL
Vaccari Magazine n.67 - 2022

A return to "Veronafil", after more than two years of isolation which prevented the event from taking place: it has always been a tradition that this six-monthly magazine, now at issue 67, was released in May and November precisely on the occasion of the Scaligera meeting.

And tradition has it that it opens with the column edited by me focused on some particularly interesting examples of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, therefore above all Ancient Italian states but also the Kingdom of Italy.
The magazine is specialized in traditional philately and postal history, but there are always articles focused on curiosities or current events, and Fabio Bonacina tells us about what has been happening for some months now in Ukraine, making a brief historical excursus thanks to the reading of postage stamps, thus addressing the subject from a philatelic point of view. Still in the present, a thorny issue for many collectors: the events related to the seizure of assets in the context of the protection of historical postal items; the conference held in Rome in January is intended to be a basis for effective collaboration between the public and private sectors to establish clear rules.
A valid link between present and past is the presentation, by Emilio Simonazzi, of the great collectors of the past, whose teachings still influence us today.

Some articles in several parts continue deepening different aspects or places: Lorenzo Carra, the "N.A." postmarks, the frontier zones, printed matters, newspapers ..., in the relations between Lombardy Venetia Kingdom and Kingdom of Sardinia, with the Sardinian-Austrian postal agreement restored from 15 May 1862; Marco Occhipinti, with the correspondence of political internees, after having toured the islands, some places on the mainland that were not so different from an island due to their characteristics; Flavio Riccitelli, with the regular postal service of the L.A.T.I. on the South Atlantic route, this time Bolivia.
Others begin to propose their studies: Giuseppe Buffagni, on the cancellation of the Este States, starting with the offices, in alphabetical order, of Aulla, Avenza, Brescello, Calice al Cornoviglio; Giorgio De Signoribus, on the late use of the overprinted "P.M." of the first issue (11.9.1942) for civil correspondence in Italy.

Heinrich Stumvoll follows the Kreuzer postage stamps used in Venice from 1850 to 1866 through his collecting experiences. Massimo Moritsch, Roberto Quondamatteo and Angelo Teruzzi go from the Papal State to the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1852 to 1867 with post-free mail and Tuscan transit.
Mario Mentaschi develops another problem concerning letter rates in Sicily from 1 January 1859: how were letters of more than two sheets weighing less than 1 ounce franked? Francesco Lombardo, also in Sicily in the years 1859-1860, analyzes the franking of the newspapers missing the postage stamps, with the impression, sometimes partial, of the horse-shoe.
Giovanni Nembrini traces the development of postal relations between Tuscany and France starting from 1 July 1851; Vittorio Morani proceeds along the routes between Tuscany and the Atlantic coast of South America between 1851 and 1879.
Gianluigi Maria Forti illustrates the postage stamps that witnessed the unification of Italy. Stefano Alessio gives us an example of organizational "efficiency" relating to the handling of a letter sent from Bologna to Reggio Emilia on 13 November 1961.
Carlo Giovanardi examines the 1 crown value of Fiume "allegories and views" issued at the beginning of 1919, with papers, perforation, overprints, ... Adalberto and Gabriele Peroni travel on the "Nuovo Colombo" steamer between Genoa and Leghorn in "Corso particolare"; Antonello Fumu sails from Tunis to Alexandria in Egypt in 1880, on two different routes.

Enjoy the reading!
