Special postmark – Amateur radio pro Emilia-Romagna

On the occasion of the activation of the 1A0C amateur radio station operated by the volunteers of the Order of Malta Italian Relief Corps (CISOM), scheduled to take place at the extraterritorial headquarters of the Magistral Villa from 26th July to 2nd August 2023, the Poste Magistrali counter located inside the Magistral Palace in Rome, with public entrance from Via delle Carrozze 79, will use a special postmark on 27th July 2023.

The postmark, designed by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces the logo of the 1A0C amateur radio station operated by CISOM volunteers.

The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, “I RADIOAMATORI DELL’ORDINE DI MALTA PER L’EMILIA-ROMAGNA” and the date “27.VII.2023”.

Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 27th September 2023. 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 10th August 2023 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.
