This 30 Lire commemorative stamp was issued by Italy in 1965 to celebrate the inauguration of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, a historic engineering achievement linking Italy and France. The bold engraved design features the majestic Mont Blanc massif, symbolizing unity between the two nations. The inscription “Francia – Italia” highlights the international cooperation behind the project. A striking monochrome issue, it reflects mid-20th century Italian stamp artistry and infrastructure pride. A significant addition for collectors of European integration, transport history, and Alpine themes.
