The <a href="https://data.cerl.org/istc/id00023000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second edition</a> was printed in Mantua by Georgius de Augusta and Paulus de Butzbach for Columbinus Veronensis. The <a href="https://data.cerl.org/istc/id00024000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third edition</a> was printed by Federicus de Comitibus Veronensis in an unknown location. Scholars once attributed the third edition to Iesi (Jesi) and the 180-lire stamp reflects this, however current scholarship attributes the printing to Venice. The stamps reproduce the first few printed lines of each respective edition taken from specific copies held in three Italian libraries: the 50-lire image is from the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, the 90-lire image is from the Casa di Dante in Rome, and the 180-lire image is from the Convento di San Francesco in Ravenna. Surrounding each central image is a legend: on the 50-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE FOLIGNATE / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Foligno edition [of the] Divina commedia); on the 90-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE MANTOVANA / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Mantuan edition [of the] Divina commedia); and on the 180-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE JESINA / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Jesi edition of the Divina commedia). Along the bottom edge of each stamp is the abbreviated name of the printer: "I.P.S.-ROMA-1972" (Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato).

'To-day,' states Il Giornale, 'the Ministry of Posts issue the new stamps dedicated to the Dante Centenary. It is the first time that the Italian government has interposed such an issue among its postage stamps, but Dante is worthy of such an exception. 'The series comprises three stamps, 15, 25 and 40 centesimi. All three are examples of the beautiful work of the gifted artist of Rome, Guiseppe [sic] Cellini. One was engraved by Proia [i.e., G. Priola], and the others owing to the death of Proia [i.e., G. Priola], by Grimaldi. They were printed at the establishment of Petiti in Rome. 'The 15 centesimi shows the eagle, bearing the open book of the "Commedia", and around the verse [from Inferno 4:96] Che sopra gli altri com' aquila vola—(He who is above others as the eagle flies). 'The second, 25 centesimi, depicts Italy seated on a throne, crowned with a laurel wreath, holding up in one arm the sacred poem. Motto [from Inferno 4:80]: Onorate l'altissimo poeta—(Honoured be the most exalted poet). 'The third stamp, 40 centesimi has a picture of the poet to the middle of the bust, within a pulpit in the act of expounding his own book. Motto [from Purgatorio 7:17]: Mostrò cio che potea la lingua nostra—(He shows that of which our tongue is capable). 'All bear the initials S.N.D.A. (Società Nazionale Dante Alighieri) for the issue is made for the benefit of that patriotic and deserving society for the protection and guardianship of the Italian abroad and at home. Thus it was petitioned at the Congress in Trieste, and so it will be followed by the Congress at Trente on September 17th. 'The stamps are valuable works of art and the stamps are evidentally sought after by philatelists. 'For a short period they will be sold for the regular franking of correspondence. And the few that remain unsold will be sought after by the collectors now so numerous throughout the world.' We learn from Il Corriere Filatelico that 400,000 sets of the Dante issue have been printed.2 </blockquote> A gray version of the 15-centesimi stamp exists but was not officially issued. The gray version was discovered in September 1943; gray is thought to have been the color originally intended for this stamp in the series.3 Stamps with the "B.L.P." (Buste, Lettere, Postali) overprint also are known, however these were not regularly issued.4 B.L.P. stamps were issued at a discount for use by charities serving veterans of World War I. Sassone catalogs over two dozen varieties for this series including examples of printing, cutting, and perforation errors as well as stamps exhibiting different watermarks.
