Short Description: This bilingual Italian-English book covers, in its 250 information-packed pages, the key postal history of Italian philately from prestamp and pre-unification, with backgrounds to all the issues of the Individual Italian States, Italian Kingdom and the Republics up to 1967, providing historical and postal history backgrounds, detailed maps, rates, routes. The novel approach to valuations is derived from actual auction realisations and input from experienced collectors, removing the traditional gap between the reality of the marketplace and the other-worldliness of catalogue values. This is handled chronologically, with context provided for political upheavals which impacted on the mails, as well as the history of stamp issues.
