Italy · 1944 · 25 Centesimi

This stamp features portraits of the Bandiera brothers, Attilio and Emilio, alongside the dates '1844-1944' commemorating the centenary of their execution. The design also incorporates a fasces symbol, representing the Italian Social Republic, and the country's name and denomination.

Issued by the Italian Social Republic (RSI), a Nazi puppet state in northern Italy during the final years of World War II, this stamp commemorates the Bandiera brothers, 19th-century Italian patriots executed for their revolutionary activities. The RSI used such issues to evoke nationalist sentiment and link its regime to historical figures of Italian unification.
