On the occasion of the beginning of the Pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, the Postal and Philatelic Service of the Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems of the Governorate of the Vatican City State has issued a special philatelic release composed of two commemorative covers, each adorned with thematic stamps and accompanied by a dedicated postal cancellation.

Anniversaries, major historical events, and liturgical celebrations—many occasions find their place in the stamp issue calendar of the Postal and Philatelic Service of the Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems of the Governorate. Such is the case with the two stamps scheduled to release on Sunday, September 7, for the canonization of Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis, with four sovereign States jointly issuing these values. Father Felice Bruno, Head of the Postal and Philatelic Service, speaks about this in an interview with www.vaticanstate.va.
