Circolo Filatelico “Giacomo Puccini”, Viareggio (Italy)
This society, established in 2007 by a small group of people very fond of stamps, postcards, coins, and other collectibles, is based in a town in Tuscany famous for its seaside resort but also as the home of the composer Giacomo Puccini. The society, currently with 80 members, has always been very active in promoting philately in the local community and the region, especially among young people and in schools. The society, currently with about 80 members, has linked philately to the town’s most important events, first and foremost Carnival, with philatelic exhibitions and other initiatives.
