The postmark, created by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces a close-up of the statue of St. Pancras on the church altar, created by the Genoese sculptor Filippo Parodi at the end of the 17th century.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI” e “GIORNO DI EMISSIONE”, “CHIESE E COMMENDE DELL’ORDINE”, “CHIESA DI SAN PANCRAZIO – GENOVA” and the date “4.XII.2024”.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 4 February 2025. 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 18 December 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.
