RMG – Easter greetings from the Rector Major

12 April 2022

(ANS - Rome) - The Easter greetings that the Rector Major Fr Ángel Fernández Artime usually sends, this year, in addition to the content wishing everyone Peace, Joy and Hope in the Risen Christ, are characterized by having been printed by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato of Rome, the Italian State Mint and Polygraphic Institute. It is a collector's commemorative stamp, printed in a limited edition of one thousand copies, depicting the exterior of the Casa Don Bosco House Museum in Valdocco (Turin) in silk-screen printing and five cinderella stamps depicting "special" pieces from the same museum.

The greetings were then printed on parchment paper with an image of the founder of the Salesians in the style of the 1930s. The sheet is the work of Dr. Maria Carmela Perrini, who already in 1988 depicted the Vatican stamp dedicated to the centenary year of Don Bosco's death.
