On the occasion of the 3rd Training Day of the Grand Priory of Lombardy and Venice, to be held in Genoa, 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 April 2024.

The postmark, designed by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces the characteristic façade of the Genoese Church of San Pancrazio, dating back to 1023 and rebuilt during the 18th century, now the headquarters of the Liguria Delegation of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA” and “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, “III GIORNATA DI FORMAZIONE MELITENSE”, “CHIESA DI SAN PANCRAZIO GENOVA” and the date “13.IV.2024”.

Since the Poste Magistrali office counter will be closed to the public on that day, the use of the postmark for the dispatch of correspondence will exceptionally also be permitted on Monday 15 April 2024.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 15 June 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 April 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.
