Order of St John of Jerusalem of
Rhodes and of Malta

On the occasion of the first participation of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta’s Poste Magistrali in the event “Wow! la fiera con più passioni”, an exhibition of creativity, craftsmanship, and various collectibles, scheduled to take place in Bologna from November 27 to 30, 2025, Poste Magistrali will use the special postmark from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 at its stand set up inside BolognaFiere.
The postmark, created by Giancarlo Federico, reproduces the official logo of the event “Wow! la fiera con più passioni”. The postmark is completed by the inscriptions “SOVRANO MILITARE ORDINE DI MALTA”, “POSTE MAGISTRALI”, “BOLOGNA”, and the date “28.XI.2025”.
Items for reposting, individually franked by the sender with stamps belonging to the relevant set, must reach the Poste Magistrali office by 28 January 2026. 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 12 December 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.
