Culinary cancellation from Italy

A cover from Italiy with the commemorative cancellation of Castiglioncello, littoral place in Tuscany.


The stamp is one of the two Italian Europa stamps of this year, about scoutism. The nightwatch arounf the campfire was one of the major topic of the Europa series issued by postal administrations members of PostEurop alongside with the walk in forest, Lord Robert Baden-Powell and universal allegories. This illustration, in a commemorative big format, is designed by Riccardo Francaviglia et Margherita Sgarlata.

The 10 June 2007 cancellation advertises the 36th fishing party (Festa del pesce), part of the Big culinary Kermesse of the Livornese coast, one of the provinces of Tuscany.

Notes :
* thanks to Riccardo for his covers (I hope he liked the TGV Est first day cover).
* You can follow the philatelic program of Italy on the Poste Italiane's website : here for 2007.
* For commemorative cancellations, the Italian Collectors Federation helps.
