Silvano Sorani passed away on 30 June. In the family’s formal statement, he is remembered as a “tireless witness in schools of racial persecution, formidable connoisseur of philately and passionate collector”. The announcement was made by his wife Scarlett, and his children Manuela and Riccardo with his family. The funeral was celebrated in Milan at the Jewish cemetery on Sunday, 2 July.
Silvano was a well-established philatelic expert, and FIP juror in both traditional philately and postal history at a number of international exhibitions (e.g. Pacific 97, Israel 98, Italia 98, Wipa 2000, Europhilex 2002, Ticino 2003, Israel 2008, Italia 2009, Israel 2018) and served as chairman of the Italian Association of Professional Philatelic Experts.
Have you heard about crypto stamps or the NFT virtual stamps? The latest issue of Philatelia Lusitana includes a short but comprehensive article signed by the CTT (Portuguese Post) that explains the story.
The CTT is only the 8th European Post that produced a crypto stamp. However, according to the article, CTT combined the physical with the digital issue and the gamification aspect, which offers the CTT customer the opportunity of winning complimentary prizes.
