Description
An account of the resource
This poster stamp was issued for the "Manifestazioni culturali della gioventù europea" (cultural events for European youth). Held June 18<span>–</span>30, 1942, in Weimar and Florence, the meeting brought together members of the national fascist youth movements of Germany and Italy—the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) and the Gioventù italiana del Littorio (Italian Youth of the Lictor). The meetings featured competitions and events organized around five themes: Music, Youth Books, Youth Press, Youth Theater, and Radio.<br /><br />This stamp's theme represents unity between Italy and Germany by showing overlapping portraits of Dante and German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The portrait of Dante is Raphael's painting of the poet (reversed from the original) from the artist's fresco <em>Disputation of the Holy Sacrament</em> in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. The portraits are flanked by two lions. Above the lion on the left is the Roman gladius sword and shield emblem of the Gioventù italiana del Littorio; above the lion on the right is the emblem of the Hitlerjugend. The left lion holds a shield with a fleur-de-lis, symbol of Florence, and the right lion holds a shield with a fasces, symbol of fascist Italy.<br /><br />The stamp has text as follows: at the top: "MANIFESTAZIONI CULTURALI"; at the bottom: "DELLA GIOVENTÙ EUROPEA". The year below the lions, "ANNO / XX·EF.", stands for "20th year of the fascist era." The fascist era began when Mussolini rose to power after his infamous march on Rome in October 1922. The 20th year ran from October 28, 1941 to October 27, 1942. Along the bottom edge is the abbreviated name of the printer, "IST. POL. STATO - OFF. CARTE VALORI" (Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, Officina Carte Valori), and the designer, "M. MELIS" (Melkiorre Melis). Malorzo erroneously records this as a 1944 issue.

The three Dante stamps have the same design by Corrado Mezzana: a standing figure of the poet, holding a book, with a large imperial eagle in the background. On the regular issue 25-centesimi stamp, a 1925 quotation by Benito Mussolini appears below Dante: "IL PIV ALTO GENIO / DELLA POESIA" (The highest genius of poetry).<sup>1</sup> Dante's birth and death years flank the quotation and Mussolini's initial "M" appears below it. At the bottom is "POSTE ITALIANE" and the denomination "CENT. / 25". The other two stamps share the same text as follows: vertically, along the left side: "POSTA AEREA" (air mail); and vertically, along the right side: "ITALIANA"; their respective denominations are at the bottom. Along the bottom edge of each stamp are the abbreviated name of the printer, "IST. POL. STATO. OFF. CARTE VALORI" (Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, Officina Carte Valori), and the designer, "C.

Description
An account of the resource
This set of four postage stamps was issued to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth. Three of the stamps each depict a scene apiece from one of the parts of the <em>Divina commedia</em>: <em>Inferno</em>, <em>Purgatorio</em>, or <em>Paradiso</em>. The fourth stamp shows the Naples Bust of Dante. The subjects are as follows:<br /><ul><li>The 40-lire stamp depicts a scene from <em>Inferno</em> 10 in which Dante and Virgil meet the entombed Florentine heretics Farinata degli Uberti and Cavalcante de' Cavalcanti. The scene is taken from a miniature in Cod. Urb. lat. 365, a fifteenth-century manuscript in the Vatican Library.</li>
<li>The 90-lire stamp depicts a scene from <em>Purgatorio</em> 26–27 in which the angel of chastity points Dante, Virgil, and Statius toward a wall of fire through which they will pass. The scene is taken from a miniature in MS It. IX, 276 (=6902), a fourteenth-century manuscript in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice.</li>
<li>The 130-lire stamp depicts a scene from <em>Paradiso </em>24 in which St. Peter interrogates Dante—accompanied by Beatrice—about the poet's faith. The scene is taken from a miniature by Giovanni di Paolo in Yates Thompson 36, a fifteenth-century manuscript in the British Library.</li>
<li>The 500-lire stamp depicts the Naples Bust of Dante.</li>
</ul>
At the top of each stamp is "1265-DANTE ALIGHIERI-1321" and along the bottom is "POSTE ITALIANE" and the denomination. Along the bottom edge of each stamp is the abbreviated name of the printer: "I.P.S.-OFF.CART.VAL. 1965" (Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, Officina Carte Valori).<br /><br />This series was deemed "Most Beautiful Stamp of 1965" by readers of the Italian stamp collecting magazine <em>Il Collezionista</em>.<sup>1</sup>
