31st May 2022: cover from San Marino
The cover was sent from the Veronaphil stamp exhibition, but later also got a second pictorial cancellation in San Marino itself. Used is one of this year's two EUROPA stamps (issued 05-04-2022). It depicts the legend of Saint Marinus who founded a monastery and chapel in 301 from which the state of San Marino later grew. According to the legend a bear once ate Marinus' donkey and the saint convinced him to take the donkey's place and help him in the field.
In the cover was this Mafalda stamp (issued 29-09-2021) for which I was looking for for a while. Mafalda is an Argentine comic strip written and drawn by cartoonist Quino. The strip features a six-year-old girl named Mafalda, who reflects the Argentinian middle class and progressive youth, is concerned about humanity and world peace, and has an innocent but serious attitude toward problems. Quino lived in Milan for a few years after the 1976 coup d'état in Argentina.
Thank You very much Davide!
