Easter Eggs

In this story U.Sam put in a street sign with Liornik Street and SAM + LIO + RNI at the spine of some books in a bookshelf.

A book title: Confucio Massim(o). Probably something to do with Massimo Liorni.
Cover
On the cover of Mandrake #153 from 1970 one can read BossyK LiornyK. - Seems like U.Sam was not quite satisfied with his boss when he made this cover.
Hidden Signatures
Ennio Ferri
The use of the letters EF is some stories is likly a hidden signature made by Ennio Ferri.
It can be seen in the "Magia bianca" story where Mandrake is reading a newspaper with a EF logo on the first page. In this story the same letters also appears on the back page, but now as EF. RI. This newspaper is used in the stories "Ore zero ... camera a gas" and "Narda allo sbaraglio". The last one includes the letters GF, which probably refers to the co-artist - his brother Germano Ferri.
In the "La gara nautica" story there is a boat - 34 F.E., and in the "L'amico dei topi" story a license plate - K-EF **.
