On the occasion of the issue of three stamps, collected in a sheetlet, dedicated to The churches and commanderies of the Order – The old commandery of Vasto Aimone, the Poste Magistrali counter located inside the Magistral Palace in Rome, with public entrance from Via delle Carrozze 79, will use the special postmark on 13 June 2025.

The postmark, created by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces the detail of the Church of St. John the Baptist, part of the complex of town buildings attributed to the commandery, as depicted on one of the stamps in the postal issue sheet.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI” and “GIORNO DI EMISSIONE”, “COMMENDA DI VASTO AIMONE”, as well as the date “13.VI.2025”.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 13 August 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 27 June 2025 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.
