I1AY 1947 Italy

I1AY was Pippo Fontana, who was one of the founders of A.R.I. in 1927, and was also a designer and manufacturer around that time with the Italian Geloso radio company.
I have noticed that while I have many pre-WWII cards from all over Europe, I have very few Italian cards from the 1930's (although quite a few from the 1920's).
Was there a restriction on radio operating in Italy in the 1930's?
