L’Aquila is celebrating its year as the Italian Capital of Culture with a major national philatelic honor. Officially unveiled at Palazzo Margherita, the new special stamp features the L’Aquila 2026 logo and joins the ranks of national symbols dedicated to Italy’s great cultural and spiritual traditions. The initiative, developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Poste Italiane, and the State Printing Office and Mint, serves as an extraordinary vehicle for promoting the city’s identity, history, and journey of rebirth throughout Italy and abroad.

Along with the regular issue, Poste Italiane has prepared special limited-edition folders and exclusive products for enthusiasts and collectors. The stamp thus transforms the journey toward L’Aquila 2026 into a tool for collective memory and lasting promotion, leaving a tangible trace of this historic year. The products are immediately available at post offices nationwide and, locally, at the philatelic counter of the L’Aquila post office.
