Francesco Tulli, Italian stamp designer, passed away
Vaccari news reported on 20 June the passing away of Francesco Tulli, a tireless artist and stamp designer, who worked at the Istituto poligrafico e zecca dello stato (translated freely as National Printing House and State Mint) between 1952 and 1998, and produced sixty stamps of Italy and Vatican City between the 1970s until as late as into the euro period.
Francesco Tulli was born in 1932. He graduated from l’Accademia di belle arti di Roma (the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome) as a painter and engraver. He died at the age of 89.

A great programme for PARIS PHILEX 2022 visitors
We read on the French Federation (FFAP) website that after an interruption in 2020 for health reasons, La Poste, the FFAP, the CNEP and the ADPhile have joined forces to organise, from 23 to 26 June, the PARIS-PHILEX 2022 exhibition at the Parc des Expositions de Paris, Porte de Versailles.
A great programme with lots of activities for the visitors is described in detail on the FFAP webpage: https://www.ffap.net/Evenements/pagesdediees/parisphilex2022.php

Priceless moments on Father’s Day!
Copied from the FB account of the Hellenic Philatelic Society:
Moments: Cases like these, where you want to say more; not to let them end.
It was only recently that we received a message. A lady asked to offer a complete set of “Philotelia” magazine from 1924 to 1955 in eight nicely bound volumes. We though to ask her what price she had in mind in order to prepare the ad for their sale. We got it all wrong! She had not any intention to sell. The magazine belonged to her father and all she wanted was the volumes to go somewhere worthwhile; not to be thrown away, but to be welcomed in a nice new place.
Philately is not just a collection of “stuff”. It is definitely more. It is moments. Priceless moments like these, which we chose to share with you.
As of this day, on Father’s Day(!), the volumes of “Philotelia” are in new, hospitable hands. In case she is watching us, we would like to thank her for these beautiful moments.
