Series called "Siracusana" The same topic in detail: Siracusana.
Starting from 1953 the ordinary series, called "Siracusana", was depicted, depicting the turreted Italy, first with the type III watermark and then, over time, with other types of watermark and in various formats. The series on paper with watermark stars in 1955 was then reissued, with the addition of some values, on fluorescent paper in 1968. It lost its validity in all its values and its reissues definitively in 1988 (the values from 40, 100 and 200 lire in 1977). It exists in small and large sizes of 100 and 200 lire. http://www.ebay.it/itm/Siracusana-e...AOSwKRJZa8QR
