This stamp features a central numeral '20' for its denomination, framed by an ornate design. It is part of the 'Pro Opera di Previdenza' (For the Work of Providence) series, a set of semi-postal stamps issued to raise funds for social welfare and charitable works in Italy.

Issued in the early years of Mussolini's Fascist regime, these semi-postal stamps were used to fund state-sponsored social welfare programs, reflecting the government's efforts to centralize and control charitable activities.
