Anybody from our Italian cS members know the guy Renato De Paola?
I've seen quiet a few certificates of authenticity attesting for clearly autopen signatures.

There is a telephone number on the certificate. Yes, clearly, autopen! Email the seller and let them know. I messaged a seller, goldviti, from Austria, last Friday night about the 8-10 auctions he listed of obviously false signatures. The seller responded well and took them all down.

The seller in fact contacted me regarding these covers and I advised her, she will take them off.
However I'd be still interested who that guy is. I do not speak Italian.

An "authenticator" (who can't discern an autopen pattern) named De Paola (da-payola)?; that is just too rich!
