[QUOTE="Fid, post: 426112, member: 7724"]here's everything explained. [URL]http://www.silvercollection.it/italianhallmarks.html[/URL] when you deciphered the province, then you may also find the silversmith by his number. nonetheless there is one "speciality" in the old Italian silver marking system - a number can be reused when the shop closed/ silversmith died etc.. so it's sometimes advisable to check era against style. stylewise this one is a hard thing. I agree with Marie. there was the stile novecento though, that took style elements from the 19th c. and looks mostly like copies of the continental classicism.
