Hi Stamp Sleuth! Thanks for showing your Italian stamp collection. It seemed to be a good collection and it is interesting to me to see stamps I am not familiar with.
I collect worldwide up to 1969. I won a couple stock sheets of AMG / ftt Italian stamps at one of my last stamp club meetings for 50 cents. That filled quite a few spots in my Scott album:) I also don't have any complete pairs of parcel post stamps. I don't imagine I'll ever get those pages filled. Italy really did produce a lot of gorgeous stamps:) Thanks for sharing:)
Pneumatic Post were letters sent in tubes through pipes using air to make a faster delivery. Although other countries used a pneumatic system I believe that Italy was the only country to issue stamps specifically for this purpose. FTT means Free Teritory of Trieste and you will find those under the Trieste section of Italy. The large set near the top at 10:21 is informally known as "Italy at Work" as it depicts various occupations. Just an FYI Eritrea is pronounced like (Air-a-tree-a). The main problem with Italian stamps is that a lot of the early issues are poorly centerted.
hello, the blue stamp at 11:58 is from Tuscany, not Sardinia. I suggest you to use the Sassone catalog instead of the Scott one (I'm Italian and I'm a collector of italian philately, if you need information or advice feel free to ask)
@@StampSleuth well, I think each nation has a catalog that's taylored for the needs, peculiarities and quirks of that specific nation's collection; for Italy it's Sassone, just like for France it is Yvert & Tellier, for UK it is Stanley Gibbons, for Germany it is Michel, for Swiss it is Zumstein, for Spain it is Edifil, and so on...
Premium quality material! Always nice to see something I haven’t seen before.
Much appreciated!
Добрый день! Я с интересом посмотрел замечательное видео об итальянских почтовых марках.
Not sure what this says... but many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a video

Back then no one knew collecting stamps would turn out so big! Many thanks for watching and making a comment/

Scott has been a bit lacking when it comes to specialized stamps.
