Italy: Como

On 29th December I got a postcard from Italy.

It shows a view of Como. Como is a city in Lombardy on the shores of Lake Como. Known primarily as tourist destination, it was also the birthplace of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, the famous Roman authors. At this time the city was however called Novum Comum.

The card was cancelled in the philatelic shop in Como and the stamp commemorates the Centenary of Sirti (issued 21-11-2021), a telecommunication company.


Thank You very much William!
