Issued by Italy in 1966, this 90 Lire commemorative stamp marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Bezzecca (1866), a significant engagement in the Third Italian War of Independence. The battle, led by Giuseppe Garibaldi’s volunteer forces, resulted in an Italian victory against Austrian troops in the Trentino region. The stamp’s design, by F. Zanaro, depicts Garibaldi’s men in combat amid the mountainous terrain, symbolizing the patriotic fervor and struggle for national unification. A fine historical issue, it captures a key moment in Italy’s Risorgimento movement.
