FEPA Medal for Service to Philately 2024
Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi RDP (Italy)
Dr Bruno Crevato-Selvaggi’s philatelic activities have been expressed through various leadership roles within the Italian federation, where he is currently President but has been a member of the board of directors since the 1990s, and in the organisation of international exhibitions Italia 98, Italia 2009, Italia 2018, and ECTP 2019. He was one of the promoters and the main organiser of philatelic exhibitions held in the seats of the Chamber of Deputies and the Presidency of the Republic, which have given extraordinary visibility to philately. He is also director of the Institute of Postal Historical Studies in Prato, a unique institution at the European and world levels, which organises periodic studies and in-depth historical-postal meetings aimed at both the philatelic and academic worlds. He was President of the European Academy of Philately from 2014 to 2017. He is an FIP juror for philatelic literature, a class whose evaluation regulations he has contributed to significantly within the FEPA framework. Dr Crevato-Selvaggi has produced a rich array of articles and volumes on philately and postal history, always of high quality. He has been the editor of the official magazine of FSFI, Qui Filatelia, since its establishment. In 2006, he was awarded the FEPA Medal for Exceptional Study and Research, and in 2022, he signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists.
