Special postmark – 37th International Summer Camp

A Special postmark was available for the 37th International Summer Camp, organised by the Order of  Malta in Bassano Romano (VT) from 30 July to 6 August 2022, issued on  30 July 2022.

Designed by Giancarlo Federico, it reproduces the logo of the event depicting, on a base formed by the inscription “ROMA2022”, a group of young people participating in the International Camp, the Italian flag and the flag of the Order of Malta’s activities and, in the background, St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA” and “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, the legend “37° CAMPO INTERNAZIONALE” and the date “30.VII.2022”.

Since the Magistral Post Office counter will be closed to the public on Saturday 30 July 2022, as well as for the month of August, requests can only be received by mail.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach Poste Magistrali by 30 September 2022. A suitable self-addressed envelope, bearing Order of Malta stamps corresponding to the ordinary (Posta4) or priority (Posta1) mail  rate in force in Italy, must be enclosed for the postmarked items to be returned under cover. For return by registered mail, please contact Poste Magistrali in advance.

Items to be returned uncovered must reach Poste Magistrali by 8 April 2022 and must be individually marked “Corrispondenza filatelica” (Philatelic correspondence) on the address side in indelible ink. In case of missing, it will be automatically applied by Poste Magistrali.
