Julius Caesar of 1929 with FASCES REMOVED in 1945 A HISTORICAL MINT STAMP with Original Gum Mint – Never Hinged – O/G – Scott Cat # 448A Collected and kept in excellent condition since 1945 when when the stamps were redrawn with ‘Fasces’ removed.This listing sells the 20-cents stamp depicted in the main photo. All the other images provide philatelic and historical information about our family, and to introduce my father, eBay seller/collector, Victor Perantoni. He was a P.S.I. activist in Mantova, Italy, who took part in promoting Italy’s “Piena Sovranitá Italiana” in 1945.========================== We sell Victor Perantoni’s Rare P.S.I. MANTOVA STAMPS in our family’s eBay Store – All series are *MINT-NEVER HINGED* with Original Gum.INFO FACTS ABOUT ‘PSI MANTOVA OVERPRINTS’ from Italy’s Pre-Republic Post-War “LUOGOTENENZA ERA” of 1945. They’re ‘City-Rule’ stamps issued by Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale (CLN) in Mantova five months after the fall of Fascism, as authorized by the Allied Military Government (AMG). Mantova is my birth town in Italy’s Lombardy Plain region, halfway between Milano and Venice. During WWII, the region was central to Mussolini’s infamous Nazi-Fascist Social Republic, the R.S.I. The region fought 18 months of bloody civil war against Central and Southern Italy, followed by war against Allied Forces and lost the war on 29 April 1945. His best friend, Adolf Hitler, committed suicide the same day (past midnight).Thus, liberation finally came on 29 April 1945. In the following months, the region’s philatelists realized the need to celebrate the nation with a special issue of stamps to promote the social reunification of Italy. So the Philatelists and postal workers of Mantova led the project after obtaining approval by AMG authorities. P.S.I. stands for “Piena Sovranità Italiana” (Full Italian Sovreignty). From the onset, however, Communist Partisans who had occupied the region soon after the fall of Fascism brought an abundance of trouble to Mantova’s philatelists and postal workers over their project’s 15-cent and 35-cent denominations.The attached images of ITALY PHILATELIC NEWS 1946 (with my translations to English) provide interesting information about the vast volumes of P.S.I. stamp sales, but short lived only 2 days. The sales were ceased on the third day because Communist Partisans complained to AMG authorities that the project was promoting a resurgence of defunct Fascism. The Communist Partisans asserted that 2 of the 6-stamp series contained forbidden fascist symbols in the bottom corners of the 15-cent and 35-cent denominations. So, being fair to both sides, the AMG approved the Communist Partisans’ request to cease the sales of P.S.I. Mantova stamps — but the AMG also approved continued use of PSI stamps that had already been sold. The mistake made by Mantova’s postal printers was due to the lack of 15 and 35-cent stamp denominations without ‘fasces’ – coupled with the urgency to celebrate Full Italian Sovereignty by printing the PSI series before the AMG’s departure. So, the printers “borrowed” the 15 and 35-cent denominations from their previous stocks of stamps ‘with fasces’ for use as base stamps to overprint 2 of each 6-stamp set. It was a dangerous, risky mistake that infuriated Italian Communist Partisans into making threats of violence, even threatening death, to the philatelists and postal workers of Mantova, including Victor Perantoni (my father), who was one of Mantova’s philatelist promoters of the P.S.I. stamps in September 1945.What’s more, all other C.L.N. stamps issued with AMG authority prior to the fall of Fascism celebrated liberation from Nazi Fascism — instead, the P.S.I. Mantova stamps celebrated the ‘departure of AMG’ to promote ‘Full Italian Sovereignty.’ It became a serious controversy among Italy’s Communist Partisans.The resulting social disorder and threats of violence caused local AMG authorities to delay their departure to resolve the situation. So, the AMG approved the Communist Partisans’ request to cease the sales of P.S.I. Mantova stamps, but the AMG also approved continued use of PSI stamps that had already been sold.As a result, the short-lived PSI MANTOVA STAMP SALES was from 27 Sept 1945 to 29 Sept 1945. Only 2 days! Their usage, however, was approved to continue until 31 Dec 1945. The stamps are Rare Postal History. Each 6-stamp set contains 2 of Italy’s LAST FASCIST STAMPS legally circulated 8-months AFTER WWII. ======================== FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS = SAVE MONEY WITH COMBINED SHIPPING ― CONTACT THE SELLER TO REQUEST MULTIPLE ITEMS BE INSERTED INTO A SINGLE LISTING FOR A SINGLE SHIPMENT WITH A SINGLE SHIPPING FEE ― PLEASE PROVIDE ITEM NUMBERS OR SCREENSHOTS OF THE DESIRED ITEMS ― PRE-PAYMENT IS NOT REQUIRED.******************************************** PER ACQUIRENTI INTERNAZIONALI = POTETE RISPARMIARE MOLTO DENARO TRAMITE SPEDIZIONE COMBINATA ― NON SERVE FARE PAGAMENTO IN ANTICIPO ― CONTATTA IL VENDITORE PER FARE L’INSERIMENTO DI PIÙ ARTICOLI IN UNICA VENDITA PER UNICO PREZZO DI SPEDIZIONE ― SI PREGA DI FORNIRE SCREENSHOT OPPURE I NUMERI DEGLI OGGETTI DESIDERATI SENZA FARE PAGAMENTO IN ANTICIPO.
