Italy: Vercelli

On 23rd December I got a postcard from Italy.

It shows various views of Vercelli. Vercelli is a city in Piedmont. Inhabited for circa 3000 years, it flourished in the Middle Ages due to its strategic position at an alpine pass. Nowadays it is an important centre for rice cultivation and trade.

The stamp commemorates the Centenary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (issued 19-10-2021). It was originally cancelled in the philatelic shop in Vercelli, but was later double cancelled.


Thank You very much William!
