This striking three-stamp set from San Marino commemorates the 1956 Winter Olympics held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Each stamp, illustrated by C. Mancioli, captures a key winter sport: bobsleigh (L.3), cross-country skiing (L.2), and speed skating (L.1). Issued with vivid tonal contrasts and dynamic motion, the set reflects the artistic flair typical of mid-20th-century Olympic philately. The official Olympic rings and the “Cortina 1956” inscription anchor the designs historically. A must-have for collectors of Olympic or thematic sports issues.
