On the occasion of the issue of a stamp belonging to the series Saints and Blessed of the Order of Malta, dedicated to St. Nicasius, on the occasion of the Jubilee Year of the Saint, granted by H.H. Pope Francis, from 1 July 2024 to 1 September 2025, the Poste Magistrali counter located inside the Magistral Palace in Rome, with public entrance from Via delle Carrozze 79, will use on 10 July 2024 the special postmark.

The postmark, created by Patrizio Daniele, reproduces the icon of Saint Nicasius, depicted on the postal issue, by the Sicilian iconographer Alfredo Efraim Augello, created for the celebration of the Saint’s Jubilee.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, “GIORNO DI EMISSIONE”, “ANNO GIUBILARE DI SAN NICASIO 2024-2025” and the date “10.VII.2024”.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 10 September 2024. A suitable self-addressed envelope, bearing the Order of Malta stamps corresponding to the ordinary (Posta4) or priority (Posta1) postal rate in force in Italy, must be enclosed for the postmarked items to be returned under cover. For any return by registered mail, please contact Poste Magistrali in advance.

Items to be returned uncovered must reach Poste Magistrali by 24 July 2024 and must be individually marked as “Corrispondenza filatelica” (Philatelic correspondence) on the address side in indelible ink. Should this indication be missing, it will be applied by Poste Magistrali.
