A special postmark will be available for the 2nd Training Day of the Order of Malta, to be held in Verona on March 25th, 2023.

Designed by Giancarlo Federico, it reproduces a detail of Liberale da Verona’s painting La Maddalena tra le Sante Caterina e Toscana, late 15th century, kept in the Church of Sant’Anastasia in Verona.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA” and “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, the legends “2^ GIORNATA DI FORMAZIONE MELITENSE” and “PALAZZO DELLA GRAN GUARDIA – VERONA” and the date “25.III.2023”.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach Poste Magistrali by 25 May 2023. A suitable self-addressed envelope, bearing Order of Malta stamps corresponding to the ordinary (Posta4) or priority (Posta1) mail  rate in force in Italy, must be enclosed for the postmarked items to be returned under cover. For return by registered mail, please contact Poste Magistrali in advance.

Items to be returned uncovered must reach Poste Magistrali by 10 April 2023 and must be individually marked “Corrispondenza filatelica” (Philatelic correspondence) on the address side in indelible ink. In case of missing, it will be automatically applied by Poste Magistrali.
