This Vatican City 10 Lire stamp, issued in 1950, illustrates one of the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy: SITIENTIBVS DARE POTVM (“To Give Drink to the Thirsty”). The design, engraved by Corrado Mezzana and printed by the Vatican Printing Office, depicts a priest offering refreshment to the poor and weary, surrounded by figures in Renaissance attire. Framed in green with a central brown vignette, this stamp belongs to a series highlighting Christian charity and acts of mercy, making it a highly symbolic issue. Collectors prize it both for its fine engraving and its strong religious message.
