Who we are

History
 

On his return to Italy after some time spent abroad experiences and spurred by his passion for stamps, in 1936 Mario Zanaria decides to open a stamps shop that is destined to become a datum point for all those passionates about philately in via Brera.

Starting from the fifties the shop also becomes the gym in which first Angelo and then Daniele Zanaria, shape to become two of the best-known and appreciated philatelists and experts.
As time goes by, after having served the greatest Italian and foreign collectors, the shop in via Brera becomes too small and, at the beginning of the seventies Zanaria moves to via Santa Margherita, where it continues to run today.

At the same time a research center activity begins, with the cooperation of Mr. Gabriele Serra, and it leaves to the creation of some of the most appreciated books of philatelic literature.
With the entry in the firm of Mario, Angelos son, Zanaria is today at the third generation of philatelists, ready to approach the future with renewed enthusiasm and the traditional passion for philately of quality.
