The gold printing on this one makes it difficult to read but the year is 1910 1930. (See subsequent posts.) Translates (google) roughly as 'Trans-Atlantic Cruise Aircraft - Italy-Brazil'  |

Ryan I know Mr Lindburgh would disagree. the gold ink has shifted and covers the year in the upper left corner. May be a 3, but its a pretty strange looking one. I'll also point out the there is an IX (9) on the artists signature on the upper right, and above that is what looks like Anno IX.
Maybe it was wishful thinking on the Italians part?

Here are some more for this long dormant thread. Umberto I. Labels commemorating his 1878 ascension? Churches  Some other religious commemorations   and a few others...   The last one is embossed and looks like it may be a letter seal |

My small contribution to the Cinderellas of Italy: A pair of labels from 1933   The light-pastel, stylized designs are especially appealing--mean to convey the excitement and appeal of long-distance air travel, I assume. Thanks to Len, a dealer/friend who keeps an eye out for things he knows I like! |

While I visited the big annual stamp show in Sindelfingen, Germany in October 2018 I rummaged for the better part of two days through dozens of dealers' massive boxes (literally HUNDREDS of boxes, each containing THOUSANDS of covers from all over the world. Most were priced at one Euro (US$1.18) and sometimes two Euros ($2.36) each. A few even had FOUR for one Euro cover boxes (25 cents each)!
I had a field day (actually two field days!) and spent, well, I can't remember exactly how much. Sitting for hours at several different dealers rummaging through and having the time of my life! Among many others, I picked up an Italian WWI-era censored cover with an Espresso stamp, along with the usual censor tape and markings (I forgot to scan the front side). I thought it would make a nice addition to my collection. When I got home I sorted through them and found on the reverse of the Italian Espresso cover this beautiful 1915 Italian Red Cross Cinderella, what a nice surprise! 
There's a special friend I am sending this to, who was (and is) an inspiration to me. I hope he enjoys it.

Shown here is an Italian Military Vignette, the Military Division of Messina. I mentioned in the Delandre thread about his re-impressions of some types from Italy. This is one but it is original. If you look closely you will see a 'dot' on the bottom right shield under the Castle gate. The Delandre forgeries do not have this !!  Ack: Charles Kiddle. |

Milan International Exhibition 1906; this rather poor-quality scan shows an Exhibition Cinderella and is tied to a postcard sent by a German writer to someone in Switzerland. Although the centering of the Cinderella seems way off, the colorful postcard shows one of the magnificent pavilions. There is also part of an Exhibition cancel as well; here's hoping my meager online auction bid suffices to have it be sent on its way soon!

A beautiful lot of Italian exhibition poster stamps dating back to 1896. The first stamp is for The Festival of Art and Flowers, Florence 1896-97. Then we have 3 stamps for the Venice International Art Exhibition, 1897. Second Row, the Lariane Festival, Como 1905, an engraved stamp based on a poster by T Borsato. Followed by 4 stamps for the Milan International Exhibition of 1906 which also marked the opening of the Simplon Tunnel. The 4th stamp was shown earlier in this thread on a cover and depicts railwaymen watching Milan from the tunnel portal. Third row, an International Exhibiition for Art, Work, Nutrition and Hygiene, Bologna 1909. Finally, from the Commune of Florence, Celebrations Commemorating the Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy 1911, an Italian Portrait Exhibition and a Flower Exhibition! Two original posters also shown.  Scan_20210218 by Daniel, on Flickr  Feste Lariane Poster by Daniel, on Flickr  Expo-Milano-1906-Poster by Daniel, on Flickr |

Federazione Giovanale Socialista Italiana (FGSI), the Italian Socialist Youth Federation was part of the Italian Socialist Party. Founded in 1903, the FGSI had a very stormy history. It has come and gone, and changed its name many times over the years becoming the FGSI again in the unification of 1966-1969 which lasted until 1994. This sheet, depicting various posters, is a subscription item from 1976. Today, it is known as the FGS and is federated to the Italian Socialist Party.  Socialist sheet by Daniel, on Flickr |

HELP! I'm having trouble identifying this Cinderella. It looks like it could be Italian? I'm totally out of my element here. I see I'm in the wrong thread category already. Rob  |

If you search "Volo transpolare 1926" you will find several auctions on ebay and some other information (e.g ITALY: 1926 Nobile-Amundsen-Ellsworth VOLO TRANSPOLARE.1926 the vignette of the Special expedition by airship N-1"Norge" to the North Pole. )

Hi REL1948 , your second guess is correct. An Italian Cinderella for the first Transpolar Flight over the North Pole by Roald Amundsen (Norwegian), Umberto Nobile (Italian) and Lincoln Ellsworth (American) in 1926 aboard the airship Norge which was designed and piloted by Nobile. The first verified expedition to reach the North Pole. It is a relatively rare Cinderella, does it have this hand stamp on the reverse?  volopol26yel-t.o.viol_1926 nobile by Daniel, on Flickr |

Hi Daniel, Here is a scan of the reverse side. I believe it has the imprint you show but it's slightly masked by what looks like black paper from a previous mounting? It looks like it might soak off but I hesitated not knowing anything about the paper or inks on this stamp. Rob  |

These two Cinderellas, from 1919, demonstrate Bologna's support for Fiume.  The first stamp reads "On the anniversary of our victory do not forget those who gave their lives for their Homeland and cover their graves with flowers". The second stamp reads "Italians! By breaking those chains you release your victory and save the Homeland". The Treaty of London, 1915, promised Italy the Austrian Littoral but specifically excluding Fiume which had a significant Italian population. Aristocrat, poet and soldier Gabriele D'Annunzio, Prince of Montenevoso lead the seizure of Fiume on 12th September 1919 for Italy but the Italian Government did not support it and so, D'Annunzio declared Fiume an independent state.  D'Annunzio, centre holding a stick, with some elite Arditi legionaries. Standing next to him, on the right, is Lt. Arturo Avolio, the commander of the Arditi's department of Bologna Brigade. |

The Carracci Exhibition, Bologna 6th September - 31st October 1956
Five poster stamps for this exhibition. One in English and the other four in French. The Carracci family were two brothers, Annibale (1560–1609) and Agostino (1557–1602) along with their cousin Ludovico (1555–1619), all from Bologna, and who worked collaboratively as well as individually. They founded an art school in Bologna, the Accademia dei Desiderosi ("Academy of the Desirous") and worked on major projects such as the Frescoes in Palazzo Farnese and are much respected in the art world.
Annibale, Ludovico and Agostino (artist unknown)
The poster stamps depict a detail, also used for the cover of the exhibition catalogue, from a painting by Ludovico Carracci, depicting John the Baptist preaching to a crowd at the river Jordan. The choice of detail is interesting since it doesn't focus on John the Baptist. Rather, it focuses on the boy gondolier who is the most animated figure in the painting, straining to keep the gondola to the shore and, at the same time, leaning backwards seemingly to listen to the Baptist.

I found these tucked away in a cover I purchased on Delcampe. I believe these are Delandre reprints ,probably with a fake cancellation.  |

I don't know what the cancellation means but it might not be a fake. In 1916 Italy sent military troops to aid France in forecasting the battle of Verdun, including this Messina military division.

anglobob it looks like the stamps are Italian originals having the dot under the castle gate. See Londonbus1's post above. Interesting with the Paris postmarks.
