Order of St John of Jerusalem of
Rhodes and of Malta

On the occasion of the 138th Veronafil, the philately, numismatics and various collecting event scheduled in Verona from 23 to 25 May 2024, the Sovereign Order of Malta’s Poste Magistrali will use the special postmark at the dedicated stand set up inside Pavilion 9 of the Verona Exhibition Centre.
The postmark, designed by Patrizio Daniele, reproduces an image of the Arena of Verona, the ancient Roman amphitheatre and icon of the city. The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA” and “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, “138ª VERONAFIL”, “ARENA”, and the date “23.V.2024”.
Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 24 July 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 6 June 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.
