Anthology of Advertising Stamps
The Anthology of advertising stamps is the curious secular journey and the thousand attempts, albeit sometimes unsuccessful, of those who also in past centuries proposed to convey, as we now say, commercial products.
The meeting between mail and advertising is the subject of this book which, far from being a simple treatise for professionals, philatelists and collectors of forgotten artifacts, also offers unexpected implications to the non-specialized reader.
by Stefano Lucchini e Tommaso Tagliente.

A completely unique case in Italian postal history
The volume presents a finally realistic and postally correct history of these temporary postage stamps and postal stationery, which document one of the
the most troubled, anomalous and complex periods in the history of Italy, when even the tradition of jealous confidentiality that has always
surrounds the production of postal security cards, having them overprinted at various printing presses, both governmental and private.
A story based on precise or at least documentable information on the sequence of events, on the postal regulations, on the machines from
printing and the techniques in use, which not only clear the field of errors and bizarre hypotheses (until it was discovered that even two postage stamps had the
double edition), but also offer a more concise system for identifying the origin of these overprints, both on stamps, in the presence of
sheets, large blocks and even as far as possible loose copies or documents, whether on postcards, postal cards, money order forms and
shipping slips, for the first time comprehensively treated. A concise but comprehensive story, accompanied by enlarged reproductions
of the various overprints and their colors, which comes from the union of multiple experiences from historical postal research to exams
spectrometric control over the philatelic material that fills many of the gaps still existing in this exciting and very popular
collecting sector.

The 800 days of Naples
The Allied Military Government and the post in divided Italy
In Naples it took four days, albeit terrible, to free itself from the Germans, but it took 800 to see the end of the Allied Military Government. Unlike the rest of Italy, which after a more or less short period was returned to the sovereignty of the Italian government, Naples was returned to the Italian administration only on January 1, 1946, together with Upper Italy and some strategic locations. And from December 1943 to July 1944 due to its position and its port, Naples was practically the capital of Italy, along with Salerno. And he saw not a few events at the postal level, nothing short of unique, such as two allied issues that almost immediately became Italian in all respects and an emergency stamp printed in a private establishment.
It is the story told by "The 800 Days of Naples", in which historical events and postal events, postage stamps of all kinds and daily emergencies come together to form an exciting, tragic and human picture. Which shows once more how the post office and philately, if observed with due attention and without prejudice (including collectors), can offer an unparalleled historical documentation, which passes from the political-institutional interests of the authorities to the small everyday life of the population , in times of war limited even in the most elementary rights of family communication.
