Italy: Sanremo

On Tuesday I got seven postcards: one from Italy, two from France and four from Belgium.

The card from Italy shows Sanremo. Sanremo is a city on the Mediterranean coast near the French border. It is a popular tourist destination and many famous people already spent their holidays there. Alfred Nobel for example bought a villa in Sanremo in 1891 (shown on the card) and died there in 1896. Since 1951 it hosts the Sanremo Music Festival, a very popular song contest and the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest. It is also home to the headquarters of the International Institute of Humanitarian Law. 

With a nice related stamp:
Italian Mail (from set of three) (issued 01-07-2010)
70th Sanremo Music Festival (issued 07-02-2020)
with a special postmark from Sanremo

In addition to the stamp used on this card William also sent me the stamp with First Day Special Postmark on a piece of paper.

Thank You very much William!
