Poste Magistrali presents the postal set released on May 16 which celebrates “St. Luigi Orione, on the 150th anniversary of his birth“, issued jointly with Italy, Vatican City and Argentina.

The set consists of a € 2.40 stamp and is also available in mini-sheets of four stamps costing € 9.60.

The set depicts St. Luigi Orione holding a rose, chosen as a symbol of his birth; in the background, on the left, Christ holds the Vatican Basilica on his heart and, on the right, the Mother of Divine Providence.
