Italy and Vatican City Commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Fondazione Venezia per la Ricerca sulla Pace with Joint Stamp Issue
On November 14, 2024, the Italian government issued a postage stamp to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Fondazione Venezia per la Ricerca sulla Pace (Venice Foundation for Peace Research). The stamp is part of a joint issue with the Vatican City State.
The Fondazione Venezia per la Ricerca sulla Pace was established in 1999 as a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting research and education on peace and conflict resolution. The foundation works to foster dialogue and understanding between different cultures and religions, and to develop innovative approaches to prevent and resolve conflicts.
The commemorative stamp features a portrait of the foundation’s founder, Professor Gianfranco Bettin, and the foundation’s logo. The stamp is designed by Italian artist Maria Carmela Perrini and printed by the Italian State Printing Office.
The Vatican City State’s stamp features a similar design, but with the Vatican City State’s coat of arms in place of the Italian coat of arms. The stamp is designed by Vatican artist Daniela Longo and printed by the Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic Office.
The joint issue of the commemorative stamps is a testament to the close ties between Italy and the Vatican City State, and to their shared commitment to promoting peace and understanding. The stamps will be available for purchase at post offices in both countries.
