Italy has issued a special commemorative postage stamp to mark the 80th anniversary of the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.<\/p>\n
The stamp was presented at the FAO headquarters in Rome’s Aventino district on Thursday during celebrations to mark World Food Day, part of the week-long World Food Forum.<\/p>\n
The initiative was promoted by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy in collaboration with the Italian State Mint and Polygraphic Institute (IPZS) and Poste Italiane.<\/p>\n
Issued as part of Italy\u2019s \u201cSocial Values\u201d series, the stamp features the FAO building in Rome along with the organisation’s 80th anniversary logo and the United Nations flag.<\/p>\n
The stamp, together with a series of commemorative labels, is available in Italy from 16 October at philatelic counters nationwide and online via the Poste Italiane website.<\/p>\n
The celebrations for World Food Day – attended by a host of dignatories including Italy’s president Sergio Mattarella, prime minister Giorgia Meloni and Pope Leo XIV – included the inauguration of the FAO Food and Agriculture Museum and Network \u2013 FAO MuNe.<\/p>\n
The organisation said the museum initiative “stands as a legacy of FAO\u2019s 80 years of dedication to sustainable food and agriculture worldwide and reflects Rome\u2019s role as FAO\u2019s host city and partner in this shared commitment”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
