Notes
The chronological scope covered by this work is remarkably broad, ranging from the Early Middle Ages to the present day.

Raffaele Iula examines Southern Italy through a historical analysis spanning the 11th to the 13th century, also presenting a highly intriguing “gold” coin forged in a copper alloy.

Davide Fabrizi shifts the focus further north (and forward by a couple of centuries), exploring the controversial story of Pietro Giovanni Paolo Cantelmo and the coin issues he produced during the conflict between the Angevins and the Aragonese.

Achille Giuliani examines a 16th-century trial that ended with the death sentence of three citizens of L’Aquila.

Andrea Boroni, Alberto D’Andrea, and Umberto Moruzzi present the records of the trial in absentia against Rivarola, an emblematic figure in the world of counterfeit coinage within the lordships between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna during the 17th century.

Professor Michele Asolati addresses the topic of counterfeiting ancient coins for profit during a period when collecting historical artifacts was beginning to take its first steps (16th–17th century).

Mario Limido, focusing on the same period, recounts the story of the Rocca di Briona and counterfeit coins intended for Piedmont.

The rise of English industry at the end of the 18th century is explored by Alain Borghini, who examines the case of Matthew Boulton’s Soho Mint and the fight against counterfeiting.

With Gerardo Vendemia, attention moves to the following century and to the Kingdom of Italy with its first banknotes.

The years between the late 19th and early 20th centuries are examined by Giuseppe Condorelli, Giuseppe Magnante, and Umberto Moruzzi through the story of one of history’s greatest banknote counterfeiters, Paolo Ciulla.

The volume concludes, in chronological order, with the work of Bruno Buratti, Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander of the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza), bringing the discussion back to the present day by highlighting the force’s commitment to combating counterfeiting.

The volume originated following the conference held during the San Marino Numismatic Convention on November 8, 2025.
