Paolo Cardillo
Paolo Cardillo was born in Turin on February 21, 1966. His studies were predominantly humanistic, ranging from modern literature to advanced music study. His collecting experience dates back to the 1990s, but it was in 2001 that, having developed a passion for the Italian Area and particularly the Ancient Italian States, he decided to delve deeper into the sector, first limiting himself to the study of stamps alone, then analyzing both proofs, essays, and printing methods and the actual use of stamps, including rates, destinations, and postal history in general.
TESTS, ESSAYS AND REPRINTS of the 2nd and 3rd issue of the Kingdom of Sardinia
- Author: Paolo Cardillo
- Publisher: Vaccari s.r.l.
The volume by Paolo Cardillo, published by Vaccari s.r.l., represents a fundamental essay for the study and cataloguing of the proofs and essays from the golden age of Francesco Matraire, the famous Turin lithographer and printer. The work delves into the genesis of the issues that preceded the fourth, analyzing the single-color proofs of the second issue and the cardboard proofs, up to a detailed study of the third issue in its three typographic and lithographic variants. A work that has revolutionized the historiography of the Kingdom of Sardinia, offering a new philatelic and collecting perspective on the "intermediate" issues and highlighting the historical importance of Matraire's activity.
