The Italian Center for Resistance Philately (Cifr) is an organization that has gathered, for over 25 years,
the fans of stamps, postal stationery, meter marks, cancellations, maximum cards, and other collecting
traditions that focus on the Second World War: war events, resistance movements, anti-fascism, internment
camps, propaganda issues, espionage forgeries... and peace missions, scientific missions, modern personalities...
The purpose of this display is not philatelic, but historical. It presents all the series from 1862 up to
1942 with emphasis on the symbolic representations in their historical context. Philatelic details are
only included if they are important from a historical perspective, such as period of validity and impression.
