ABOUT ME

Passionate and occasional traveler, especially in summer time. When in my area, don't hesitate to ask my free guided tour, here, in my medieval village, just south of Padua, and practice italian for free. More at my blogsite (italyforfree.blogspot.com)
There's a message in every postage stamp! As you can imagine, I do love postage stamps and the feelings they awaken in many people. The surprising diversity of subjects, the use of colour, or the design. I continue to be amazed by how can fit so much beauty into such a small place. I can only applaud the fact that there are still people who take the time in our busy age to wonder at this and to collect postage stamps. Because you can say so much with something small. Because however small, there's a message in every postage stamp.
CAN YOU HELP..? Wanted used postage stamps for philately promotion to kids (stamp collecting offers a world of interest). All kinds, in duplicates, on paper, are welcome. This is a permanent appeal, so stamps can be sent at any time of the year. Thanks. Visit my blog for other details and gift-offer. Roberto, Italy.
