Italy: Mantua

On Friday I got four postcards: one from Italy, one from Japan, one from Austria and one from Germany.

The card from Italy shows an aerial view of Mantua. Mantua is a city in Lombardy. Under the Gonzaga family in the Renaissance era the city became a centre of art, culture and music. Since 2008 is Mantua together with Sabbioneta on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


Stamps:
Italian Mail (from set of three) (issued 01-07-2010)
90 years Lateran Treaties (issued 11-02-2019)
It is a joint issue with the Vatican. 


Thank You very much Irene!
