Issued in 1979 for Italy’s XXI Giornata del Francobollo (21st Stamp Day), this charming 120-lire commemorative features three children standing under an umbrella shaped like the world map—a symbol of unity, cultural friendship, and the educational role of philately. Designed in a bright, playful style typical of late-1970s Italian thematic issues, the stamp reflects Italy’s tradition of promoting international understanding through postage art. Printed by I.P.Z.S. Rome, the piece remains a favorite among collectors focusing on youth themes, world peace motifs, and modern Italian commemoratives.
