This pair of Italian stamps from 1995 celebrates the nation's rich artistic and cultural legacy. The left stamp depicts a detail from the Tavola Strozzi, a 15th-century painting preserved in the Museo Nazionale di San Martino, Naples—one of the earliest panoramic views of a city in European art. The right stamp features a magnificent illuminated manuscript from the Archivio di Stato in Rome, representing the nation’s medieval archival treasures. Both designs honor Italy’s enduring commitment to preserving its museums and state archives.
