The postmark, created by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces the image of St. Bonaventure, taken from the painting by Leandro da Ponte, known as Leandro Bassano,  ‘Apparizione della Vergine a San Bonaventura’, and in the background a depiction of the Civita di Bagnoregio, the Saint’s birthplace. The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI” and “GIORNO DI EMISSIONE”, “SAN BONAVENTURA 1274- 2024” and the date “4.XII.2024”.
