This image shows a piece of Italian mail featuring three distinct postage stamps and postmarks. The top stamp depicts the iconic Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), with text indicating the location and postal service details. The middle stamp commemorates the centenary of the introduction of stamped postal stationery in the Kingdom of Sardinia (1819-1836), showcasing a historical design related to postal history. The bottom stamp honors Don Peppe Diana (1958-1994), a priest assassinated by the mafia, with his portrait and a poignant quote. All stamps are from "ITALIA" (Italy) and feature postal logos. Two partial circular postmarks are visible, one reading "CITTA DELLA POSTE," indicating the mail's journey through the Italian postal system. This collection of stamps on a single piece of mail provides a glimpse into Italian landmarks, postal history, and social commemoration.
