An often mistaken error is this one:  August 7, 1957, many collectors feel that the wrong postage stamp was issued: the traffic light should have the red on top and not the bottom. But, in 1957, the new Highway Code (1960) had not been introduced as yet. The code, among other things, specified that all the traffic lights be as we see them today (red at the top). In 1957 there were still many with red at the bottom. |

I don't collect Italy, but I do have this in my collection. I had to have it for the penmanship . I often wonder if you address a letter today in that hand writing would it get delivered?  I will do a few more sub forms later today, This thread will then be moved to the Italy sub forum. Busy Today with yard work, off to play a few hours of video games  |

Thank you heaps Mitchell, I have received the huge number of stamps you have sent me. They were great!! I am still putting together an australian lot for you, unfortunately most of the ones you have mentioned are ones I don't even have a copy, let alone spares. But I will do my best. I noticed that on your site you end on 1989, is that as far as you want to go or would like some stamps from later years? |

Exposition of Italian Agriculture 1907 Engineer / designer of the Expo : Luciano Franco Art Nouveau style Expo not listed in Expositions or World Fairs. 4 Pavillions Central theme (of course) was Ceres. Goddess of the Harvest Ila Esposizione Agricola Siciliana Catania Primavera 1907 Wiki Translate: In 1907 he inaugurated L ' Exposition Sicilian farmhouse , Art Nouveau, to which the mayor intervened Consoli. In his inaugural speech argued that Catania was the second largest city in Italy thanks to the traffic of the commercial port, and one of the first industrialized cities, thanks to the sulfur factories and dry cleaners. ESPO intervened the first artists of the Art Nouveau town. The engineer Luciano Franco was responsible for the disposal of all the buildings in the Piazza d'Armi (now Piazza G. Verga), forming a tunnel with a central square gardens with kiosks. The style chosen for the exterior elevation and the facades facing the garden was the New Art. He also wanted to introduce a local style, the Saracen, in the large entrance arch that has a curve Arabic. The vestibule, which is reached through the arch, was almost square plan. From here two doors leading to the galleries of the exhibition. In line with the vestibule stood the large octagon with eight pillars and eight spiers. Twelve gates will not open. The dome was thirty meters high. From the vestibule, visitors entered the garden, surrounded by galleries on three sides. Four stylized Arabic arches were opened on three sides, while the fourth was accessible to all the Fine Arts Masterpiece ESPO was destroyed Kiosk Inserra of Thomas Malerba. It had the typical element of the nouveau facade, the tripartite arched opening, placed in an eclectic architecture of Gothic taste-oriental. Alessandro Abate had decorated the vault of the vestibule, where they appeared to the four leaders: Labor, Ars, Voluntas, Aeconomia, along with images of peasants at work, framed by floral designs. In the background loomed Mount Etna and the blue sky, the goddess Ceres, on a chariot, crowns distributed to the peasants intent on the work of harvesting and plowing. www.cataniatradizioni.it/storia/piazza%20esposizione.htmDonated kindly by Ryan : TSF Ceres at the tiller.   |

This stamp has a printing variety that is well known - the housing for the traffic lights is seen in two different types, as is explained on this page: www.italianstamps.co.uk/varieties/trlt.html Ryan |

Italy Committente If any members know of a site / link, I can identify or study lists of Italian revenues (Post Forbin) It would be greatly appreciated. All I can do at the moment is to mount them haphazardly. The 50c example, is that not the perfect "socked on the nose" ?  |
