Museum of Philately awards the Rowland Hill Medal at the prestigious stamp show Monacophil on Friday 25th November 2022, in Monte Carlo. As an online Museum, we celebrate great and award-winning collections that promote, educate, and inspire viewers, illustrating the wonderful diversity of what has been called many times, the greatest of hobbies. After an active campaign with almost 1000 public votes from young and old, male and female participants, The Museum of Philately is delighted to award not one but three medals. They have been presented to Iva Mouritsen, Simon Martin-Redman and John Davies at an awards ceremony in the Hôtel de Paris. These well-recognised philatelists have three very different exhibits, all of which you can enjoy reading at your leisure on the Museum.
David Feldman, commented in his speech ‘Whilst none of us can see into the future, this event today provides encouragement that the philatelic landscape in future years will be healthier and more diverse than ever before. Certainly, if we continue to embrace new ways of doing things and the emerging technologies, we will enjoy a bright future, once again, exactly what the Museum of Philately is all about.’

The shocking news of the closure of Vaccari Magazine was announced yesterday on the Vaccari News website.
The Vaccari Press Release issued ahead of the release of the journal’s final number (No. 68) includes the “Editorial” signed this time by Valeria Vaccari, the late Paolo’s daughter. The first few lines of the “Editorial” explain why:
I never wanted to write and sign this editorial in my dad’s place.
A long story, that of the Magazine, which could have continued but, by his will, ends here.
I thank personally and also on behalf of my dad (I know he would have done so) all of our writers, many of whom have collaborated with the magazine since the first issue in 1989; all the subscribers and readers who have been following and supporting us.
I thank those who believed in this forward-looking project and published their own advertisements.
I thank all the editorial staff, Francesca who started and Claudia who continued, the makers-up Katia and then Federica. And the typography that accompanied us from the beginning.
A great adventure dad, which I will miss a lot, especially because that was with you.
In this issue some pages are dedicated to him.
In No. 68, Valeria Vaccari dedicated three pages to her father: Dedicato a papà
Paolo Vaccari passed away on 10th October. You can read the announcement here.
