Nannucci had been a pioneering figure in Europe since the mid 1960s in furthering the artistic use of postcards, both as exhibition invitations and in mail art generally. In 1976 he founded the newspaper Mèla and this gathering of postcards by numerous major art figures relates to contributions to this publication, its last issue was in 1981. In his account in 2014 of his Hotel Carlton Palace postcard project in 1993, Hans Ulrich Obrist wrote: 'In the early Seventies Nannucci had done this very beautiful [postcard] box which I carried around with me everywhere I went.'
