He was one of the promoters and the main organiser of philatelic exhibitions held in the seats of the Chamber of Deputies and the Presidency of the Republic, which have given extraordinary visibility to philately. He is also director of the Institute of Postal Historical Studies in Prato, a unique institution at the European and world levels, which organises periodic studies and in-depth historical-postal meetings aimed at both the philatelic and academic worlds. He was President of the European Academy of Philately from 2014 to 2017.
