Does anyone know who/what Giovanni da Udine or G. Stephenson are? I am not finding much when searching for either. They were some kind of distributor for Base set in Italy.

From what i could find “Giovanni da Udine 34, 20156” and “G. Stephenson 43/A” are business addresses used by Wizards of the Coast in Milan, Italy
Could not find much about Giovanni da Udine 34, 20156, other than it appears to of been a customer service office used by WOTC, and in 2005 Upperdeck moved to the same location, by then of course WOTC was done with pokemon
For the G. Stephenson 43/A i found a 2002 Star Wars TCG Rulebook stating the same business location in the credits

Thanks for sharing! Definitely seems to just be the street names. The “via” part and names were confusing.
Now I need to find out which one was used first. I’m trying to reverse engineer a timeline still. The 2002 document must mean the G. Stephenson is likely later.
