FDC from Italy and Card from SMOM

On 19th October I got a cover from Italy and both the cover itself and the card inside were interesting philatelic additions to my collection.

The cover is a FDC of this stamp:
75 years Battle of Anzio (issued 22-06-2019)


The card inside was a participation card of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta for the Veronafil.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta or SMOM is a Roman Catholic order based in Rome. The first stamps of the SMOM were issued back in 1966. Today the stamps are issued for both postal and charitable reasons. The order has over 50 bi-lateral postal agreements and mail with SMOM stamps can only be sent to these countries.

The stamp on the card was issued on 5th December 2018 to commemorate the 150th death anniversary of Gioacchino Rossini.


Thank You very much Davide!
