My name is David Carli and I have been involved in philately since 1993, with particular specialisation in the 1850–1900 period. Today I put this experience at the service of collectors, offering expertising on stamps and postal history from the Italian area.

I am not fond of social media and even though I have a Facebook account, I use it very rarely.
Throughout the year, I attend several philatelic exhibitions and events in Italy. Check the updated calendar and, if you will be attending, feel free to meet me in person or entrust me with an item for expertisation.
