Giovanni (Jean) de Sperati (14 October 1884〔Lowe & Walkse, 2001, p. 119.〕 - 28 April 1957〔Lowe & Walkse, 2001, p. vii.〕) was an Italian stamp forger. Robson Lowe considered him an artist and even professional stamp authenticators of his time attested to the genuineness of his work. Sperati created what he called a ''Livre d'Or'' which he boasted of in his autobiography and which contained 239 favourable opinions as to the genuineness of his forgeries from numerous experts, including Dr. Edward Diena and the Royal Philatelic Society London.〔Lowe & Walkse, 2001, p. 122.〕 ==Early life== Sperati was born 1884 in Pistoia,〔Lowe & Walkse, 2001, p. 119.〕 Italy, though he spent a large part of his life in France where he adopted the name Jean. Sperati retained his Italian passport throughout his life and always considered himself an Italian.〔Lowe & Walkse, 2001, p. 131.〕 As a child in Pistoia and later in France, Sperati began to collect stamps. He was particularly interested in printing techniques, as well as photography which was in its infancy at that time. Relatives owned a postcard factory as well as a paper mill. Through this, Jean de Sperati was able to obtain copious knowledge of photographic processes, print technology and chemicals. These formed the basis for his eventual career as a stamp counterfeiter.
