This volume traces the history of this service and of communication in general through texts and images that highlight its crucial moments.
The history of the mail, as the history of a regular and organized service for the exchange of news and messages from one place to another, begins with the earliest civilizations. Variegated letterboxes, uniforms designed for the letter carriers of the Kingdom of Italy, telegraphs, telephones, postage stamps: every element contributes to picture the image and events of the postal service in Italy, with a few European and non-European excursions, this book traces its itinerary and stages. A literary anthology with stories by famous writers related to this theme closes the book.
