Item Description

Key Features:

Complete set of 6 stamps issued for the Mostra Colonie Estive e Assistenza all’Infanzia held in Rome, June–September 1937 (XV Year of the Fascist Era).

Designs feature stylized children in military and welfare imagery, symbolic of Fascist Italy’s use of propaganda in youth programs.

Bright and Bold Color Palette: scarlet red, violet, green, blue, brown, and carmine rose.

All stamps mint no gum (MNG), with aged gum traces or marks of hinge removal visible on reverse.

Fine to very fine centering.

Historical Context: This 1937 issue was produced during Mussolini's regime, highlighting Italy’s efforts to promote state-supported childhood welfare programs, summer camps, and early indoctrination. The stamps are emblematic of totalitarian iconography, combining military motifs and idealized children to project strength and nationalism.

Condition:

Mint no gum (MNG) with hinge remnants and gum loss consistent with age.

One stamp (CENT. 50) with a small perforation crease at top.

Rich, well-preserved colors and strong impressions despite age-related toning.

Shipping & Handling:

International shipping with tracking.

Declared as Philatelic Material / Documents for customs purposes.

Well-protected and reinforced packaging to ensure safe delivery.

Customs Notice: Buyers are responsible for any customs duties or import fees. We mark all items as “documents” or “printed matter” to reduce risk of additional charges or delays.

Collector’s Note: A fascinating and controversial issue that blends postal history with propaganda. This complete set offers insight into Fascist Italy’s visual culture and ideological messaging.
