Soldi d?Italia: Un secolo di cartamoneta. Guido Crapanzano. Parma, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Parma, n.d. A richly produced survey and visual atlas of a century of Italian paper money, combining clear introductory essays on how banknotes developed and how to read them with structured coverage of Biglietti di Stato and Banca d?Italia issues, set out with attention to designs, denominations, and issue sequences. The later sections broaden into wartime and overseas material, including colonial and occupation issues for areas such as Somalia, East Africa, Albania, and Tien-Sin, then move into regional fiduciary paper from major cities and provinces, before closing with partisan and Repubblica Sociale Italiana notes. Excellent reproduction on fine paper gives sharp images of vignettes, seals, and overprints, while concise commentary keeps the chronology and context easy to follow. A crisp, well-preserved copy. |
