Santa Bona di Pisa

Here is a commemorative cancellation that an Italian correspondent sent me last May.


The stamp, issued on the 6 October 2006, is about the Italian organization responsible for the protection of natural parks.

The cancellation is illustrated with a picture of Santa Bona, in a pose similar to the one on a painting by Giovanni Lorenzetti. The town of Pisa commemorates the 800 years of her death.
